Species Account:
Standing still on my own property 29479 High Side Drive, above the lake outside of Worley, soundless and upwind. Two mature foxes were climbing the hillside below me and popped out of the bushes approximately 15-20 feet from me, headed straight for me without the leader noticing me. I realized they were continuing my way, and I did not want to have that close of an encounter with them, so I gave a loud startle sound. This caught their attention, and the leader turned around and walked back down my slope, unhurried but going back the way they came.
