Welcome to my backyard. This blog is about the wildlife that lives and travels through our yard in suburban Northern Virginia. The yard borders a park and has a small, man-made pond. Foxes have used the space under our deck as a den for their babies. Raccoons like to raid our compost bins, and green frogs produce tadpoles in our pond each spring. We also have deer, chipmunks, squirrels, birds, a shrew, a toad, a snake, a turtle, and even a bat.
Leotis snapped these photos around 6 pm today, before I got home. It seems to be a different fox than the last one, although it looks like the same age and size. Perhaps they are siblings! It has blacker legs than the last fox, and is mangier and spent alot of time scratching. Why they both hung out on the pond deck I don't know. Perhaps they were the ones who had lived under the pond deck as babies!
