House Cat Meets Fox in Allendale
Matt Klemchalk has a motion-activated camera in his Allendale backyard. In addition to getting lots of photos of deer (no surprise there) and hawks by his feeder, he captured this sequence of his cat Silver discovering that it had company in the backyard last month — a Red Fox. He told Stiles Thomas, and Stiles told me…
Hiyo, Silver!
Just can't beat the wild nightlife in Allendale. (Thanks, Matt and Stiles!)

very cool. The fox are in mating season as are the deer again. We hear the weird fox cry early in the am on our block. We had 24 turkeys in our yard yesterday. 6 jumped/flew up on the deck for some bird seed. No fear.
