This was taken by the same camera on Jan 22,2011 at 3 am. Note the coyote’s tracks are still there. It is a grey fox which would make it about the size of a beagle.

BTW, the coyote came across the pond whereas the fox came out of the woods below it. The fox seems to be checking the direction from which the coyote came. Our house is about 80 yds to the left and up the hill from this spot.
