That’s a hard question. What other colors did it have… and where?

I have a question. Down by the cat tail pond there was a bird, mostly brown , larger than a red wing blackbird by nearly double… not, I don’t think a flicker. When it flew it had a white tuft on its rump. What bird could it be?

Perhaps it is the same fox. There are plenty of squirrels remaining. However, someone has been spreading food-trash in a gully nearby that might be another attraction for the fox.

It was early in the morning and still dark but something tells me it was! And the next day I saw quite a few squirrels in the area! So maybe, just maybe

They wait and pounce. They must be really good at it to be able to catch a squirrel.  But then, I might be overestimating a squirrel’s ability to get away quickly.

Can they climb trees? or are they just super fast on the ground?
