wonderful series, of a sight very few people ever get to witness, a fox sleeping in a tree. Way to go Jason.
Lovely series Jason!
I was privileged to get to watch a gray vixen & her 3 kits all through the summer last year as they visited our yard on a daily basis. Such beautiful creatures!
ha...awesome...i would have been quite surprised to see a fox in a tree. way to spot that
That is so cute! Wonderful capture, Jason! Great photos!
the british introduced the red fox to north america because the native gray fox kept climbing trees during the traditional fox hunts.
Wow this so cool!
I never expected to see a fox in a tree either. Great spotting!
I'm not sure if foxes in trees are common or not. But this is the second time we've seen one in a tree recently. We had a lot of rain in the past few days so maybe that has something to do with it. BRIT is in a mix of open and forested areas (next to the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens) so maybe trees are the best refuge during the day when people are walking around.
I added some better photos by Bob O'Kennon.
Amazing. I have never heard of a fox in a tree before. Would the drought drive it to do that?
It's a bit hard to see but this fox has been sleeping in this tree for most of the day. I'll upload some better pictures that a co-worker took with a better camera and zoom lens.
