Each of us had a sighting: the fox (if it was the same one) using the house’s location skillfully by running through the gullies on the distant side of the rocky outcroppings that flank the house. I was on the second floor for this run. Couldn’t have seen the animal from the first floor.
Backyard and Beyond 
Location and serendipitous good fortune can generate some wonderful results. A red riding coat and silk top hat might improve your odds of seeing the fox again. The species is attracted to the attire because they love to laugh.
