she's back

I must confess to calling her "he" until my daughter pointed out it was a she and very clearly a nursing mother. So I am doubly glad I put out an egg for her and I will have to do it again. She was after something in the field but did not seem to catch it. She was spotted trotting right by the house before heading into the field. I suspect she had checked out the compost heap for goodies first. Gray foxes are omnivores and will eat anything- small furry critters, blackberries, and pears. Their colors are only mostly gray and they usually have some red, This one is really quite a pretty lady. I keep hoping she stays smart and doesn't try to cross Rt 7. It is way too busy anymore.
