Olivia,
This is off the fox topic (but I always thought dogs chased foxes?) Anyway, I also have a freeloading Egret named Bebe...Whenever I fish off our dock, no matter the time of day...here he comes! and so picky too...the fish has to be 4 inches, no longer and he stabs it wth his beak and swallows whole.....gulp, then patiently waits until he sees the line wiggle again.
I have a picture of him taken by a professional photographer in my living room....with my fish in his mouth. :)
