That's the way to be on your toes, Bill!
We used to have a silver fox (aka black fox) roam our neighborhood on almost a daily basis for over 8 months a number of years ago (back in the days of film). Then one day we realized we hadn't seen it in awhile, either it died or its territory was usurped by a different fox.

Have one that lives in the yard across the street from me but have never had a camera handy when I've seen him. He's been there a couple of years. Maybe I should start tracking the time of day I see him out so I can have a camera out and ready.
I haven't see one of those since I was a kid, nice shot! I was lucky enough to have one that lived out where I did in Douglas County, it mated with the red variety and one year they had 6 kits -- half were black. They had a den next door to us, so we spend may evenings watching them from a makeshift blind we made. That particular fox was jet black, only had a white tipped tail. Its a beautiful and rare color for the local foxes -- you should try and tracking this one, might be worthwhile.
