The Mountain has a way of delivering the unexpected, and I was delighted to find one of our overly habituated foxes (Vulpes vulpes cascadensis) at an overlook. I was disappointed that she seemed to prefer pavement to snow, and after taking several shots, I moved on, taking note that she was not radio-collared. I drove on up to Reflection Lake and on my way back, I spotted a second vixen, much blonder than the first. Her radio collar was quite obvious, and once she'd figured out that she was going to get no treats from me, she strolled off into the forest, giving me the perfect opportunity for this &quot;habitat&quot; photo. If you look closely, you can see the black transmitter under her neck ruff.
