The Other Fox - Video

This is the other fox who comes here. It always acts like this: very skittish, and you can see the contrast with how the regular fox acts.



If it sees any movement inside the house, it takes off, so when I know it's around (usually dawn or dusk), I sit in the dark with the camera hoping to get a picture.



I can't say if this is a male or female. It does seem smaller than the other fox, and they seem to share the yard as a repository for dog biscuits. Foxes are territorial, so maybe this fox being around explains why my friendlier fox only visits once a week lately.

Last night while I was waiting for it to come back, I noticed a half-grown mouse scrounging around in the grass just outside the dining room window. I'm sure it will end up in my house one of these days.

Do you think Busy is the mate? Charming creature. Glad you are helping maintain the wildlife in your area.

They seem to come from different directions, and this year the usual fox only comes once a week, whereas Busy comes every day or so, so I don't think they are mates. I'm not going to name my favorite fox because some day he'll die.

Busy looks like a vixen to me. I think she is cute.

The face does look like a girl, doesn't it? Is it just wishful thinking?

I see how it got its name. Busy, indeed.

The first time I saw it, Busy was coming down the driveway from the highway (setting off the motion sensor lights), and made several trips back and forth. I haven't seen the lights come on lately, and wonder it he/she has moved somewhere closer to the house.

I just learned the hard way to NOT make a 25 minute video--took almost 14 hours to download it and then youtube said it was too big to post!!!

They're huge files, aren't they? Even for a few seconds of video time.

Wow! Yes, very different behavior. How cool that you can capture them on film! I love it. He or she is a cutie... love the face!

I call this one 'Busy' because it never slows down.
