Hi All,
The two Gray Foxes that have been coming for nightly hand-outs since November 
are still around. Tonight, in spite of the snow and a temperature of 8 degrees 
they came. After they ate, one left, but the less skittish one stayed for 
awhile. After it got all of the food it wanted it decided to curl up in the 
snow. It has done this before but not in single digit temperatures. His fur 
coat must be a really good insulator. It stayed for about 45 minutes as fine 
snow fell.  Below is a photo. Even the camera flash didn't disturb it. some of 
those small white dots are reflections from the snow on the ground, but some 
are reflections from the fine snowflakes.
