The male from the local park preparing for the night

Quick stop to scope the area.
(The photos were taken with ISO 102400, hence the horrible noise)

Is this a threat?

As compensation for the noisy photos, I give you the moon!
I mean, a photo of the moon (Ceci n'est pas une lune!)

Damn, my camera won't go over ISO 12,800. And is noisy as fuck at half that. It's also 15 or so years old, so I'm hardly surprised.

If you've never heard a fox in heat ....look it up.

If you don't know it's coming ...it'll chill you to your bones.

By my place we get them, owls, and some completely unknown animal that I suspect is a VERY angry mustelid of some kind but may in fact be a European lynx. There's also a yearly migration of some brand of crane that cries all night as it flies, I assume so flockmates can keep in touch, which is quite haunting but beautiful.
