Guarding the Coop
Jun 21, 2014
Men standing around in front of the U.S. Capitol building, holding a fox, 1919.
This photo comes from the files of the Office of the Architect, U.S. Capitol. The backstory is not known to us, but apparently foxes are observed from time to time roaming the grounds of the Capitol, feasting on squirrels. Just last February, tourists noted exactly that, and the Washington press corps twittered all about it.
