Although the House Hare has been about since the tail end of the dark season I've not seen it. Only its tracks. However today Travis came running from the Great Room saying it was there, and then ran to the back door, just in time to see it go by.
I grabbed my camera and just behind the truck at the edge of the property stood the Hare.
Travis had run to another window inside and while I was taking the picture he came running out.
"Dad!"
"I just saw a fox."
As I had a quick look for the Hare, he came outside and pointed out the fox he had just seen. It was a long way off and I managed a couple of quick shots that weren't very good. Without binoculars I couldn't tell if the dark fox was dark phased Arctic Fox or one of the Red Fox phases. Blowing up the image though one can see it is a Red Fox, and I'm guessing the Cross Fox colour phase.
