baby foxes

Today I saw the baby foxes that have a den in the culvert by the nursing home on Campobello. The culvert is right on the busy highway and they are within inches of the cars, but they are growing up and surviving. I sat on the guard rail and a baby fox came out of the woods two feet away and ran for the den. I sat patiently and took photos of one baby retrieving a dropped rabbit foot from the driveway. They seem aware of traffic, and this is the second year the mother has made a den in a culvert on a busy highway. Maybe it avoids coyotes and there may be some upside to making fox babies so familiar with highways, although it looks very dangerous to me.
