Fox News

I believe they have moved out. The evening of the same day that Mr. Sorrow and Zeke scent-marked their territory, mama fox brought the kits up to where I took that last photo. She waited till she saw our heads in the window and then chased the kits headlong out of the meadow and into the woods to our west. Then she came back close to the house, made sure we were watching her, and then ran screaming and conspicuous across the road and into the meadow to the east, bounding like a red and gold dolphin against the green green new grass. An astonishing display of foxiness. We haven't seen any of them since. Godspeed, little furballs.

Oh man. I love that show of deceit. She's a survivor.
