Unmistakeable ID. The fox paused at roadside then crossed in front of my car. I’ve heard over the years there is at least one fox in this neighborhood, but it was no less shocking to see it. For those interested in detail, incredibly bushy tail with typical white tip, and truly every other fox characteristic. What can I say, it was a fox - compensating with detail for lack of picture. Brother was also in car with me and ID’d too.
