Two Gray Foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) that have stopped by to get some of the sunflower seeds I put out. The seeds are usually for the birds but I love to see the foxes too, so it’s okay.

Slightly smaller than the Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes). The Gray Fox measures about 31 to 44 inches in length, including that beautiful long tail, and 12 to 16 inches in height at the shoulder. And they average about 10 to 12 pounds.

Yep, I’m going to put out more sunflower seeds. I want to see these beautiful creatures more often.
