Foxy Visitors (Warning: Large Photos!)

[frimble3]

I haven't been posting fox videos lately, mostly because both my trail cams and my computer have been uncooperative. I have a new computer and I've brought the cams in line, and just in time, too, because the first kit of the year showed up in the yard last night:

Oh, Baby!

Oh, Yay! I have been missing your fox updates! Are all the other foxes well?

I think I have a different pair denning under my neighbor's shed this year (I'm calling them Mister and Missus). It's hard to tell for sure, since their markings and fur growth patterns are two of the ways I tell foxes apart, and both Mister and Missus have had mange and are pretty scruffy.

I do think all three of last year's kits have visited the yard over the winter and early spring, although right now the turf belongs to Mister and Missus. They're pretty territorial, especially given the kit(s), so other foxes are steering clear. I'm curious to know if they have more than just the one kit.

The foxes had to deal with an intruder last night. You'll want your sound up for this, but fair warning: it gets very loud.

Brave Father Fox, defending his family against a larger predator! Give that fox a chicken!

A lot more joy than I anticipated: Four Kits!
