We’ve had a lovely pair of foxes visit our backyard for years, but this season?
They brought the kids.
.
.
While we’ve seen a kit or two every once in a while, it’s a rare thing since our back lawn is large and predominantly cover free. Momma fox is a careful parent and won’t expose her offspring to open areas unless she knows it’s safe.
.

So you can imagine how our jaws dropped when 6 foxes appeared in our backyard recently.
.
.
No, you’re not counting incorrectly… there are only five pictured.
.

By the time I got over the shock and grabbed my phone… number 6 had moved over to the blueberry bushes, out of range.
.
.
But damn, 5 foxes is still an impressive sight.

River's world..... 
I’ve never seen that many of anything larger than a squirrel. Speaking of which, I doubt that makes momma red very happy.

If this keeps up you may want to consider a cover charge.

Just be careful. We’ve heard of a lot of fox run-ins that were rabid.

Foxes are less apt to be rabid than skunks and raccoons, and we have those as well.
But they all come in the evening, where we watch them from indoors. With our cat beside us.

When I have seen foxes, I’ve never seen more than one at a time. That’s wild. It’s a family reunion.

It’s truly special this year. We’ve never seen so many at once either.

Beautiful, Rg. Stunning, in fact.
Not in our yard, but on the outskirts of town a beautifil grey fox used to frequent certain areas. Just the one. It has not been seen since the woldfire of 2019. I miss seeing it. (Using “it” because we didn’t know it’s gender. I think it was a she, but only because it was so beautiful.)

They are so gorgeous!! I love that they are eating together without said fox number 6 in the picture that is. Very impressive River Perkins!

#6 likes the fallen blueberries, apples and pears. He’s always on the other side of the yard.

Like every family, there is always one odd one. If you don’t know who that is, it’s you.
