When I got up early this morning, the fox was out front finishing off a bird, and two magpies were harassing him, waiting for any scraps. He ignores them, just like he ignored the goose.
For the record, here's how his coat looks today. The dark part is the beginning of his outer winter coat. It looks coarser than around his shoulders where the fur looks so soft.

He's beautiful! How great to be able to observe nature from your porch!
Did you have any trouble posting the pictures? I can't post any pics at all. WOW! Just look at that tail. Beautiful! I'll bet he was hoping those big, fat, juicy magpies would come a little closer.
I have never seen magpies. They are quite large, aren't they? What bird was Mr Fox eating? A chicken from you or a wild one?
Is the fox panting in the bottom picture? It must not be cold there yet.
I just love your pictures of the fox. How lucky you are to have him visit. We used to have two that visited our feeder at night but on fall we had major rains and their dens flooded so they moved on. I saw my first magpie when I was in Idaho several years ago....we do not have them in Georgia. They are beautiful birds.
he is so cute. I haven't seen a magpie either, so thanks for the pics!
Great photos! I always wondered what a magpie looked like!
I love blue jays--I am glad fox leaves them alone!!!
