Red Fox
...or what is affectionately called:
Brad's lil' red dog!
Alaska Department of Fish and Game
Species: Red Fox Vulpes vulpes
CAMP UPDATE from Brad: Of course my lil' red dog had to come say hi as well yesterday evening. Not sure if it was the cookies Joyce had just pulled from the oven, the little hippity-hoppity thats around camp, or if he just wanted to say hi... as he came right up to me by the wood pile, then straight for the galley porch where joyce was baking inside, and then zig-zagged between cabins before meandering back into the forest. There's always something going on out at Camp!Monday, June 27, 2011
