moonflowerMemberYesterday, on my walk around Lincoln Park I saw what at first I thought was a wolf. Right after the sighting I talked to a man with 2 dogs who said it was a fox. He said it was ‘the biggest fox I’ve ever seen’. I had seen a fox or two in Illinois and this one was different in that it was all brown and it looked like it was on steroids. (I had seen a red fox.) Has anyone else seen a fox at Lincoln Park? I saw him on the upper trail somewhere between where 2 nouthend trails start that take you down to the beach. I think it was around 2pm. It was the eeriest feeling. He moved very stealth-like, first he was there and then he was gone. Just had to share this. It was pretty cool!

WSBKeymasterWe saw one run across Admiral during our first few years in West Seattle … and haven’t seen one since. Did wonder about foxes during a nighttime walk down the Thistle staircase earlier this week, when we heard something rustling loudly in the greenery nearby … Thanks for sharing!

acemotelParticipantwhat portion of Admiral, generally? i.e. habitat was likely Schmitz Park or Duwamish Head greenbelt?

JanSParticipantI used to live on Genesee Hill..54th near Charlestown…and we would periodically see Red Foxes running down our street in the wee hours of the morning. I assumed that they were going from the greenbelt above Me-Kwa-Mooks over to Schmitz park. They’ve been sighted at WS Golf Course, and Camp Long, too. They’ve been here a long time, and will probably be around for just as long…protect your pets…

flowerpetalMemberAn all brown fox on steriods acting “stealth like?” Methinks you saw a coyote of which we have been reading about the sitings of in Lincoln Park. Urban foxes don’t get that big cuz there aint enough food for them to grow big.

GenHillOneParticipantMethinks you saw a coyote too. As I understand though, there are indeed (red) foxes in Schmitz Park, sometimes families. Thus…the Schmitz Park Elementary mascot. “Smart as a fox!”
