There's an area on the property we refer to as the grove. It's a large bowl-shaped feature with lots of big rocks and several large trees. It's been known to have snakes, chipmunks, field mice, and occasionally rabbits and squirrels in it. Late one afternoon this red fox ran out of the woods, across the yard, and into the grove. It spent several minutes looking under various rocks probably hoping to find dinner.

The young fox squirrel nicknamed Snowball has made an appearance almost every day. Sometimes she's in the front, sometimes the back, and sometimes at the edge of the woods. Her distinct tail makes her easy to spot and she seems to have less fear than the other squirrels.
