Female foxes are called vixens and males are called reynards. The term vixen has made its way into pop vernacular but I don’t thinkl I have ever heard of any guys being called a reynard. In any case, this vixen or reynard enkoyed the light afternoon sights at Bombay Hook NWR.

Foxes are in den now but come out for meal breaks. Such is the case with this one that I photographed late one afternoon last week.

This fox came out just before sunset, scanned the countryside and then proceeded out onto a frozen pond in late afteroon sun in search of dinner.

It was such a beautiful afternoon and I coudn’t resist going to Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge to see who else was out to enjoy the bright sun. This fox spent quite a while patrolling the water’s edge and at one point trotting out on a limb.
Here is another photo of the fox I saw last week. I had several minutes with it and there were several good photos, so I thought I would post another from that night. I have been traveling and we have had some bad weather here. I hope to be out tomorrow and be able to post somehting new from that.
This fox was pretty intent on finding an evening meal tonight. He could not have cared less about me or the camera, thankfully.
