There's at least one vixen fox who runs around here after it gets to be full dark in the summertime. We are just a long block above Northern Park way on Park Heights, where the urban environment begins to turn suburban. I've seen her quite a bit the past couple of years.

We saw one walking down our block near Patterson Park. It was on our door camera recording, not in person, but it was definitely a fox going in the direction of the park.

I had the coolest sighting last winter. We live up in a woodier area of 21211 - I woke up around 2am one night to a strange cackling outside our window. I go to peek outside and in the middle of the street, under a streetlamp, I see two foxes. One with a white tail-tip, and one with a regular black tail-tip. The one with the white tail-tip would sort of skip across the street... and the other one would follow. And then white tail-tip would skip back across the street... other one would follow. They were chasing each other and canoodling like teenagers! They'd catch up and sort of nuzzle and flirt and then scamper off again. Magical moment, utterly dreamlike. I wouldn't be sure it was real, but I woke my partner up to come watch with me 🥺 We've spotted several foxes here since then but none like that.

I live in Hamilton and I've never seen more foxes anywhere in my life. It's crazy. I like them but I have two little dogs so I get nervous about it too.

I agree that the Transit app can be very useful, it’s a great concept and I try to use it when I can, but I do have a couple of issues with it.

a) when it comes to navigation I find it’s kind of confusing and I still need to use google maps to make sure I know which lines to get on. This wouldn’t be as much of a problem if I wasn’t new to the area and don’t know my way around, but it would be nice if it was easier to search a location accurately and I could just use the one app.

b) My phone is old and the battery life sucks so having the Transit app using my location the whole time I’m on the bus isn’t really practical - I like that it tells me how many stops are left and I want to be able to use it for that but then I basically have to turn my phone off until I get on the bus to go home because otherwise I won’t have enough battery to make it back. I know this is more of my problem because if I had a newer phone the battery wouldn’t drain as fast but it makes using the app pretty inconvenient for me.
