I was at Shawnee last week, and got to spend time with a fox:
It was pretty close to me, and seemed a little too accustomed to people. Rabies? Semi-tame? Stealing food and raiding garbage cans? I don’t know, but apparently it had been in the area for a while and was thriving, which kind of tells me it’s not rabid, or poisoning itself with “people food.” So, good!
I also got some video of it catching dinner:
A few evenings later I saw a family of deer cutting across the back lawn, probably spooked by outdoor events and trying to find a human-free path out of the area:
I also saw a bald eagle last week, at the Nesquehoning Trestle outside Jim Thorpe, but none of my pictures were any good. Still, quite a week!
