On Friday morning while visiting the former Bushkill Park site (with Jackie, Lori, and Jeremy), we saw a red fox run dash across the back meadow and scoot under an old building. Today I decided to take a break from grading papers and sit by Bushkill Creek with my camera for a while. This was on a patch of preserved land a little downstream of the Park. Had some nice views of nature, and none other than Vulpes vulpes himself as I headed back to my car. He turned tail quickly and melted into the woods.
The title made me think of a scene from the animated film Fantastic Mr. Fox, when the title character interacts with a wolf and introduces himself by his scientific name.

Your instructors are big fans of Wes Anderson’s Fantastic Mr. Fox. In fact, we have watched it with Cultures of Nature in previous years. Perhaps we could be convinced to do that once more….
It is so exciting to see you were able to go back and see the fox! Its so beautiful!
