And another one

 

I took a walk around the neighborhood early this evening, and moments before I got back home, this fox hurried through a yard across the street.   A few steps later, I saw a cottontail at the corner of the house where the fox had briefly visited.  

First a coyote, now a fox in our neighborhood.  The arrival of new and hungry predators means that the area rabbits -- and the mother cat who has mooched off us since February -- will have to be still more cautious.
