powderfreak Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Just now, CoastalWx said: We had those few days where you dropped into the 40s...but otherwise this has been the trend for years. A lot of sustained warmth with weak ass breaks in the heat. Yeah this year seemed better than recent years to me to be honest, but I think in some recent summers it’s been over-the-top style heat that’s baked us almost more so relative to normal. This summer felt more gradient with the cooler air nearby in S.Quebec. Felt like half the days were COC up here while Bob in TAN was posting Dominican Republic type obs. I know for sure there’s some differences of opinion between up north and 3-4 hours drive south that hasn’t been present in recent years. Next summer probably goes back to full latitude trough in the East. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well good news is the fox seemed to be acting normal. Sniffed some grass and carried on through a narrow gap between a missing fence piece. I always thought foxes were super small and low to the ground...not this one. Maybe climate change is causing foxes to get bigger too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so much during the day but if you're driving late at night down these two-lane roads around here they can often be seen darting around under the cover of night.

dryslot Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 There more prevalent at night when there's more food available to them. Although primarily nocturnal (active at night), fox are often seen in suburban or urban areas during the day. Fox are also fairly transient animals and frequently move from place to place. Fox present no danger to humans unless they are rabid, which is rare, or if they are being captured or handled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's hanging around the house and/or looking kind of tame, I agree. But I've often seen foxes looking totally normal during the daylight hours, as many of their small rodent meals, especially squirrels and chipmunks, are in their nests at night.
