Gray Fox (!) in Sax-Zim Bog

Needless to say, I was quite surprised when this gorgeous Gray Fox showed up on the BogCam. A gorgeous creature that is increasingly common in Northeast Minnesota. Note the shorter snout, delicate paws, grizzled fur and black-tipped tail that help differentiate them from their cousin the Red Fox (which showed up on this same BogCam a few weeks ago!). Its tracks were tiny…Not much bigger than a house cats.
