I've had a couple of
peach trees in my backyard for years,
so I'm used to
birds,
squirrels,
wasps,
and various critters stopping in for a snack. But in 2010, I saw some foxes coming by for my peaches.
While these aren't that uncommon (the house next door even had a den
under their deck a while back), it's the first time I've seen 'em make a play
for the peaches. My wife Wendy (she's the one who cut up all the peaches in the last picture - great job honey!) is pretty sure she's seen two separate foxes.
Both are pretty mangy looking ... and since these
pictures were taken in mid-September, they'll probably have a tough
time in the upcoming winter ... so while it's not cool to feed wildlife,
I'm happy to share my leftover peaches with 'em! ;-)
The fox says this is one tasty peach!

Fox heads off to the neighbor's yard to see if they have anything interesting ...
Just don't let the fox know that my wife has 16 bags of peaches in the freezer! ;-)
