Today I heard from a couple of neighbors about a red fox rooting around in our neighborhood woods. Later in the day I went for a walk in the woods to follow up on the sighting and while wandering around the woods I saw lots of fox tracks but no fox. I followed the tracks all around, came across a squirrel kill, passed by a number of quinzhees (bottom photo) and eventually came within 200 feet of my own yard when the tracks disappeared into a neighbor's yard where I wasn't going to follow. The tracks also led me straight to the weasel den I found before Christmas (still not sure it is weasel) and then led me to another similarly sized den that I didn't know about until now. When the fox approached the dens, it circled around them several times before moving on.
 
This was the first time I've heard of a fox in my neighborhood woods. I have seen tracks in the fields further south, but not in the woods (coyote, yes). For the photo above, I got down on my knees to get a low perspective on the tracks, which was something I had never done before for a track photo.
 
The Quinzhees were something new too. There were half a dozen of them all in one small area. I am not sure why someone went through all the trouble to build so many!
