There are Red Foxes in a wooded corner of our backyard for many years now. A few years ago, there were six of them, but this year we only have two that I can see, a mother and her cub. Being Foxes, they are naturally shy and I had to take the following photos from about 300 ft (100 m) away. However, the evening sunlight was bright and directed perfectly at the spot.

Wonderful shots! I rarely saw foxes when I lived north of NYC, even though I know they were around. I hope you have more opportunities to photograph them this year.

There seems to be more reported sightings of foxes now. It could be that they have adapted to live near humans.

Thank you Takami! As people keep building more houses, this small wood is very precious to them. I am fortunate to be living next to it.

We are right next to some woods, so we get a lot of animals and birds wandering through. At times we feel like we are trespassing on their land! 🙂

It acted like a youngster, running around a lot. She was much more calm.
