A fox has become a familiar visitor at Forrest Lodge. She recognizes no enemies among the owners and guests there and makes her rounds whenever she smells food cooking. One night she came on the deck to our cabin and looked right in the window at us.

Scott and Mary Jo, the camp owners, had previously had a wood chuck who would eat from their hands. This spring, "Digger" had a litter of five and one day the fox showed up and ate two woodchuck babies right before their eyes.
Even though they found this unforgiveable, the fox gradually moved in to replace Digger as the camp pet. Digger is still around, but keeps her distance.
Nature just is not "cute"; we have to accept wildlife just as it is.
