Red fox

I was outside this morning and I noticed a red fox running through my yard. It was 9:15am should I be concerned about it or just let it go? First animal I have seen in my yard other than the usual rabbit, squirrel, bird or chipmunk.

No worries at all. Enjoy the visit.


The only concern I would have is if it looked mange-y and you have a dog. If your dog runs off leash, and finds it deceased, the dog may want to roll on it and would get mange from the fox.
If your dog is leashed, then probably nothing to be concerned about.

Like others said no worries.....unless it looked and/or acted sick......

Wait though until you hear one at night! It sounds like a person being murdered....the scream is scarry as all get out....it scared the heck out of me the first time I heard it. Now it still unsettling but I know what it is so I don't freak. lol

I think what you heard, littlelu, was a bobcat. Their cry is a bone chilling scream that does sound like a person being murdered. It woke us up one night. Right outside our bedroom window. The claw marks about 4 feet off the ground on our birch tree were even creepier.

Did the red fox say, ā€œIā€™m coming Elizabeth!ā€?
