I live in Great Hills/Arboretum area and we have quite a few gray foxes
around here.


Yes, after several late nights out back with flashlights we spotted two
pups and
a mom. They live in a den somewhere under our shed. At least that's one
of
their entrances. I'm not going to do anything about them. The pups will
leave
and they are said to be solitary for the most part. I'm concerned about
the
cardinal nest with three chicks in it. She made her nest in the rosa
rugosa
this year. A bit too low for my liking, but I'll watch it. I think these
fox
have really cleaned up the rodent population we had back there. At one
time I
saw at least eleven of them on the bird feeder way out at the end of the
property.
