We have been fortunate enough to see gray fox this year, which is fortuitous given its nocturnal nature.
The gray fox normally frequents ridges and canyons, but can be found in wooded areas and grasslands. We were lucky enough to witness mom and 2 kits playing.
Our sightings were limited though, as the gray fox can be quite skittish, particularly during daylight hours.
Their predators include mountain lion, bobcats, coyotes, eagles, owls, and hawks, all of which we have our fair share, particularly the pesky mountain lion that wants to eat our pup for a snack.
The gray fox are mostly omnivores and prey on chipmunks, mice, bunnies, and the occasional bird or insect. Whatever brings them here, we are happy to see them, for as long as they happen to visit.

The grey fox has beautiful coloring. So great to get these sightings and capture on film.

Thank you. It’s always a thrill to see animals and be able to watch their behaviors. I always feel fortunate whenever we are so lucky to see them, and particularly when I can get a decent shot. Thank you for checking in.

Beautiful pictures and interesting information, as always.
We are in harvest on but will be back in AZ in a couple of weeks. We’ll see if we all have some white space on our calendars to get together.
