Fox(es?) and Bear

We've had a lot of wildlife sightings in the past few days.

Saw this guy out the kitchen window. It was taken through the window screen so it's a bit grainy.
Found this on our wildlife camera. Here's the video that I did the above screen capturefrom.

And then we had a bear try to destroy our bird feeder at about 10:30pm last night (I've seen a lot of fresh bear poop lately when I've been cutting brush so we knew that we had one hanging around).

Still assessing the damage. I hope to be able to straighten the pole. The feeder on the ground is a bit mangled so I'll need to take a closer look. In any case, the feeders won't be up for a few days and, even then, we'll probably bring them in at night.
Checked the wildlife camera to see if we captured the culprit. The bear moved across the screen so quickly that the video isn't worth showing. Here's a screen capture:

Update: The pole straightened out beautifully and is back in the ground. One of the feeders was bent but straightened right out. Both feeders are in the garage for now.
