Red Fox

After hearing the news of the fox & young, my 6 year old daughter and I went out after dinner in hopes of spotting her.
I thought the den was in the gardens so we wandered around the north edge, eyes peeled! With or without a fox we had a great time, but after about 20min. we had a bonus!

Female Red Fox Hunting
Looking south from the old Rosetta house I saw the female fox hunting along one of the paths! My daughter freaked! We snuck through the owl trees to take a closer look, and we did get closer! We watched her hunt squirrels like a crazy fox? She went after about three as we watched her, taking pictures all the way!

Fox Hunting
When done, but no squirrel, she left and headed out of the park from the far east exit. I wondered what the heck she was doing, so we headed out a different exit looking for her. We saw her run across Kingston road and right to her vast network of dens, greeted by 4 kits. They played, fed, and all moved about 75 yards west to their next den in the trees.

My daughter will never forget this little outing as she was shaking with fear and excitement (her words)! What an awesome outing!!!
