Foxes outfoxing us and the marmots...

We have a fox family in town (again!) and they've been able to kill several yearlings and at least 1 adult. This is exceptional. Mostly the foxes kill pups...but by killing adults they really enhance their impact on the population. It's really taking a toll on the marmots in town.

Louis was able to chase one down the other day and id the marmot (a yearling named Dragonfly). He then, kindly, returned Dragonfly to the fox...who stuffed it into her mouth and marched off to feed it to her 3 adorable kits. Sigh.
