Even though I'm only a mile from "downtown" (which is a quarter mile long main street), my home is the last on a dead end road surrounded by forest. Spring and summer I regularly have young foxes cavorting in the yard. Last summer there were four, wrestling like puppies, and I was shocked that one of them even climbed about ten feet up in a tree! These are grey fox. There are small pockets of Sierra Nevada Red Fox scattered throughout the mountains...they supposedly live above 5000 ft.
