Check Out What the Driveway Camera Caught

Was going over the footage from last night's cameras. A possum was on the deck. They come fairly often. Not a big deal. I decided to share this one instead. A fox visited the driveway. I have not see one since the baby rabbits were in the backyard. Hoping the rabbits are all safe. Foxes are a huge predator for them. Never know what these cameras will pick up during the night. This fox is better than a person I suppose. Photo is mine.

I don't like him any more since he tried kidnapping the baby rabbits in the spring.

Foxes are cute, I hope the rabbits are grown enough to be safe.

@CarolDM I hope the rabbits have a good hiding place. I know that foxes are hunters, but they are cute animals, I hate the British fox hunting, it is cruel, it is a horrible sport.

@CarolDM Thank you for sharing the information since in my area there are possums but not many foxes even though the area is near a river and a scrap yard.

@Deepizzaguy We used to have a dairy farm behind our home, so they used to come more often than they do now, before all of the homes were built.

It's good you got a cctv to monitor what's going on outside your house. Did you put it up purposedly for security?

Its a great photo, but foxes aren't friends of the bunnies. Possum are just ugly, but they can't help it, maybe that is why they are nocturnal.

@CarolDM Then when I checked the camera memory card there she was. But does seem to be staying away from the coops now. I think that was one of the babies. They seem to have moved on to find an area of their own.

yes I wish we could afford a camera. Many homeless people are living in our back wooded area and they sometimes come and take things from us and neighbors. Not room in our garage for car which they try and get in to because garage is full of things that we ordinarily could leave out in a good neighborhood

Hope it does not prey on the rabbits. It is their territory when we are at sleep. Agreed, better than an uninvited prying human!
