Urban wildlife

The variety of critters in Rock Creek Park, right here in the District, never ceases to amaze me. You can see many of them stuffed and mounted (and a few swimming in tanks) at the Rock Creek Park Nature Center, which is also a good water stop when running in the park.

This morning in the park I saw a beautiful little red fox, darting through the falling snow on the trails. He looked very much like the one pictured here but was moving way too fast for a photograph.
