Yesterday, in late afternoon, Fawns came back to our backyard to graze and eat the still green fruit from our peach tree. They were not the only visitors.

The Fawns were excited but did not run away.

The Red Fox perked up every time I pressed the shutter on my camera.

The Red Fox, with a peach in its mouth, suddenly took off and ran into the woods. My panning skills could be much improved, but you get the idea.

Backyard Red Foxes 2017

There are Red Foxes in a wooded corner of our backyard for many years now. A few years ago, there were six of them, but this year we only have two that I can see, a mother and her cub. Being Foxes, they are naturally shy and I had to take the following photos from about 300 ft (100 m) away. However, the evening sunlight was bright and directed perfectly at the spot.

The link for this challenge is: https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/eye-spy/

When I photograph birds and animals, I try to get a good eye expression, or at least get their eyes in clear focus. Here are my entries for the challenge, all from photos taken this year, some as recently as yesterday.

Five red fox pups have made an appearance in our backyard this spring. In early morning or late evening, they come out, play, look around, run and chase one another. I took the following photos from our deck, and so far they don’t seem to mind.

Foxes

fox, photography, postaday, red fox, wildlife

22 July 2012: There is a family of foxes living in a wooded area of our backyard.  Once in a while they run across our lawn.  In this photo, on a beautiful spring day, they came out and romped around for about five minutes.  I had to hurry to grab my camera and was able to take half a dozen shots.  This one turned out to be the best.

11 March 2014: Almost two years later, we still see the foxes once in a while, or signs that they are still around. The number of rabbits has decreased dramatically, a boon to our vegetable garden which used to be a buffet restaurant for the rabbits. If only the foxes could chase away the crows which have decimated our Asian pear trees to the point that we can barely get half a dozen pears out of thousands.
