Fox of the San Juans

Are there friendly foxes on San Juan Island?  

 Look who we met on the edge of the road while biking from our slip in Friday Harbor to Cattle Point.  

This is the sort of chance encounter that makes my day.  I don't remember much about that outing but I sure remember how friendly this guy was.


     We are on the high bluff overlooking Cattle Point and the Strait of Juan De Fuca with nothing but grassy fields in all directions.  This healthy looking guy appeared to be looking for handouts.

I have never seen a fox that hasn't seen me first and wasn't running for the hills.



Another good reason for getting off the boat.
