We believe these are grey foxes, given the lack of white tips on their ears & tail.

What were they looking for, and how did you manage to snap the photos without scaring them off?

They're eating bird seed dropped from the platform feeder (not seen, but atop the post you see in the top two photos). I had also put scratch mix on the ground as we've had a few turkeys in the yard again recently (after a several month absence).
My wife had flipped on the outside light before closing the blinds upstairs (an evening ritual, you know
) before bed. There're often some critters out there -- not usually foxes, though. I went and got my DSLR and snapped a few quick photos. These two foxes were pretty much unfazed by the light, although the smaller one was a bit flightier.

Yup, sad but true.
Meanwhile, further north and west, in the CT River "Upper Valley" (New Hampshire side), light snow and sixteen
Far out. Red birds. We have magpies here for excitement. They fly like kamikazes and every summer I see them limping about or with a injured wing from flying accidents.Yup, sad but true.

No magpies here, only out West in the US (AFAIK).Far out. Red birds. We have magpies here for excitement. They fly like kamikazes and every summer I see them limping about or with a injured wing from flying accidents.
We do get these here, though.

... and these, too, of course.
Benjamin Franklin wanted these to symbolize America, rather than that other bird in the photo in my previous post.

There's even a video of a eagle and octopus going at it for some reason.
Usually looks the same on a non-rainy day!
