For the 2nd time in the past 5 days I saw a red fox in Pennecamp on Markridge Loop at approx 6:30 am. This time I suspected the fox had returned because my garbage was strewn all over my lawn and driveway. After I cleaned up the mess, I went into the house and looked out the sliders and immediately saw the red fox about 10 yards behind my house eating something. He/she was under attack by the mocking birds but was unphased until I opened the sliders and stepped out on the lanai to get a better look. He immediately saw me and trotted in the opposite direction. I have to put the garbage out the night before because they often pick up very early, but I recall someone saying to spray the bags with bleach or amonia to discourage the wild animals. I should have done it last night because the fox apparently loves Publix original roasted chicken. He cleaned the bones but not the mess.
