watching the migratory birds visit I had an unexpected pleasant and very close visitor.

While the fox pictures are nice, and it got close because it is "used to people," there could also be another explanation -- rabies. The most common wild reservoirs of rabies are raccoons, skunks, bats, and foxes. Was it acting skittish or totally unafraid? According to the Humane Society, in the "furious" form of rabies, wild animals may appear to be agitated, bite or snap at imaginary and real objects and drool excessively. In the "dumb" form, wild animals may appear tame and seem to have no fear of humans. Rabies is transmitted through saliva, not airborne. Just some good advise to be very cautious.

I had a Grey Fox visiting my bird feeder at one point. I was always worried he had rabies. He finally stopped coming around so who knows? Nice images.

This guy has a route around the neighborhood and is friends with the outdoor cats and dogs. He comes to our place cleaning up the spilled bird food under our feeders. It knew I was there and kept a wary eye on me. We are in a semi-rural and have lots of wildlife including gray and red foxes, deer, lots of raccoons but no coyotes or bears (we think).
