Reynoldsburg: Foxes!

Sitting at our kitchen window, waiting for today's snow to start (it hasn't stopped yet), Joan spotted a pair of red foxes investigating the woods. One chewed on the frozen leg of a deceased groundhog for a while, but gave it up. They did some pouncing in the snow, but I don't know if they caught anything or not. I shot some pictures through the window. As usual, click to enlarge.

Licking a paw (they don't want stuff to freeze in between the pads of their feet).

Taking a brief pause.

Almost hidden by the trees.

Is there something in its mouth?

Standing at attention (there is a fenced-in dog two houses down from us).

Trotting through the snow pack.

They made it a very exciting morning for us.
