An actual TODAY post

This evening we saw the fox again as we were headed back to the house.  It was just sitting on the side of the road ahead of us.  When we noticed it, we stopped dead in our tracks and looked at it with our binoculars.  It sat there for a while, scratching behind its ear and keeping an eye on us.  Then it got up, crossed the road and went behind some trees.  We thought that was it for the fox so we started walking again but then we saw it moving through the trees so we stopped.  The fox then slowly comes out of the trees and stands there and looks at us.  We stayed very still, looking at it with the binoculars.  Then it started walking towards us!!!  It got maybe within 40 feet of us and then turned to walk towards another stand of trees.  It didn't go into the trees but instead walked along the edge of them, always looking at us.  It acted like it was going to cross the road again but then it turned around and went into the trees.  We probably got to watch that fox for a good 6 or 7 minutes, totally unobstructed.  It was wonderful!!!!  We also saw the Vermilion Flycatcher again - always beautiful.  We have one more week left in this house.  Another place that we will really miss and look back on as a great place to have stayed for a few weeks.
