Thought this was a neat shot of a fox visiting the Mt Washington Observatory.

I see red fox around my yard fairly often but last weekend, on Mt. Washington on the bottom of the Lions Head trail, Donna and I saw the biggest fox I've ever seen. It was as big as a medium sized dog.

Well if it is, then it's not on the true summit..
I've seen a red fox in the Wayne, NJ places of all areas on my bike commute to work. I had an eternal grin when I got to work as the usual animals I tend to see are a ton of deer and suicidal groundhogs. I'll take the red fox over any of them anyday.

My first solo...
On my first solo trip I crossed paths with a family of fox. Not sure if it was Mom or Dad, but it was huge! The little ones where the size of those little yip yip dogs. I was kinda scared at first, but they slowly walked away and I snapped some pics (not digital). Great trail memory especially on my first solo.

We had one walking ahead of us on the Crawfords Path on Eisenhower a few years ago in late December.

What a wonderful picture Tim,
I just missed seeing the fox on my descent of Washington so I can't tell if they are the same. Frodo and BlueZ were just ahead of me and they saw it.
Your fox is a noble looking creature.

Tim, that is certainly a superb photo. But, I am curious...has it been "manipulated/enhanced" in any way? I remember your photo of Sawyer Pond (minus Little Sawyer Pond where it should have been). Just wondering.

Yeah, excellent photo Tim... Either that is a very nice digital camera or is that scanned 35mm? Looks like a small Aperture was used to focus only on the nearfield (by the fox) and keep the distant pines slightly off focus. Really nice!

I was wondering the same thing. The shadows match nicely in both the foreground and background. Looks like late afternoon or early morning. I don't think it is faked but it does have a little of the look of being faked. Fantastic picture.
How far away from the fox where you?

Tim posted a report last year about a traverse of part of the Presis including the encounter with the fox on Monroe.
Tim, maybe you could post a link to that report again if it's still around. It was quite excellent with a number of nice shots.

The Foxtrot Traverse
Here is a link to the story:
The Foxtrot Traverse
The picture isn't manipulated in any way ( but I did bribe him to pose with an offer he couldn't refuse, being somewhat of a vain fox) - it was taken with a Canon 28-135 Image Stabilizer lens zoomed almost all the way out ( on a Canon A5 body), with the aperture wide open, handheld, on Fuji Velvia 100 slide film. It was scanned with a Nikon 4000 slide scanner.
The fox was about 20 feet away from me, just below the summit of Monroe, basking in the glow of the rising sun. Definitely a moment I will always treasure.

I'm personally under the impression that all real wildlife has been driven out and in a desperate attempt of saving face, the US park service has replaced all living wildlife with "Animetronics". Kind of like Bugaboo Creek restraunts, Universal Studios or Disney.
