Wild Alamo

It's official. 80 Los Balcones, Alamo, California is home to three foxes (one mother and her two cubs), six deer (a mother and her two fawns, a pair of young males, and an injured male if it hasn't died yet), and tons of turkeys (a dominant male, his harem of females, and several dozen chicks). Deer are not unheard of in this area, and the turkeys have been around for a year at least, so those won't come as a surprise. The foxes, on the other hand, are remarkable new additions.

I first saw the mother fox over a month ago hunting a mouse. It moved very quickly, but I was able to catch it on camera after the kill. The cubs were sighted more recently, twice. On one occasion, the mother fox was hunting the turkey chicks, and it caught one in a tree. Now I know turkey chicks jump into trees for safety. Just a few hours ago, I saw the mother fox patrolling our house again. My suspicion is that the foxes are following the turkeys, and the turkeys have made our home part of their normal grazing routine. So, as long as the turkeys are still around, the foxes will call our home their home too.

Speaking of the Turkeys...
