​Hi all, this is Bill. I have the camera pointed away from the den at night. Will move it back in the morning

Camera Information
The camera is streaming from a farm location in south western Pennsylvania. The den site is at the edge of a field which has been used by red fox in previous years. At the moment the red fox are in their mating season and have not picked a den site. Our hope is they return to this same den this season. The female red fox, vixen, will pick her den site sometime in February.

Red Fox Information
Red Foxes mate in the winter and the female fox gives birth to a litter of 2-12 “kits” in the spring. The kits are dark gray in color at the time of birth, but grow a new coat within a month. Both the male and female fox cares for the kits until they are ready to leave in the fall. Foxes are omnivores who hunt mainly small rodents, birds and rabbits. However, they will occasionally eat vegetables, fruit, mice, and fish.
