Spring Fox



Spring is springing in New England and here in Colrain a friendly, if not a somewhat mischevious, face has reappeared after the melting of the winter snow.  

A red fox, that was possibly one of the kits born last spring in the den behind the Grange, has decided to make this 'hood his residence, at least for the time being. (Ok, admittedly the fox's gender is undetermined, but let's make him a guy for convenience's sake.)

He's oft spotted grooming himself, basking in the afternoon sun, trotting proudly up the road with a bird in his mouth, teasing Otto (our office dog), or curled up at the base of a nearby towering pine tree.
