As we officially enter the summer months, keep an eye out for young wildlife as they explore their new world! Gray foxes, shown above, are mostly nocturnal creatures and tend to be active at dawn or dusk but like their red fox cousin, occasionally may be seen during daylight hours. As omnivores, they eat plants and animals, and benefit from the variety of habitats we have conserved throughout the Sebasticook River watershed. Did you know that gray fox are the only canid species in North America that can climb trees? You can find out more about both of our native foxes courtesy of the Maine Department of Inland & Fisheries Wildlife HERE. Photo by Tom Aversa
