Fox in Heckscher State Park

On the bike path that borders parking lot 7 in Heckscher State Park, I saw this unhealthy looking fox. It seemed curious about me which sort of frightened me. It had engorged ticks on it and as if all that wasn't bad enough, it also seemed to have eye problems. Maybe that issue was related to the ticks on its face, but whatever the reason, it was a rather pathetic looking fox.
