Great pics John. Sure nice to have a whole family of critters living near your house. My guess is Papa Fox is spending a lot of time hunting.
I've never seen one single fox in the 13 years we've been living up here in the bush. Lots of cougars and wolves, but no foxes.

Thank You Gary!!
Pretty many Red Foxes in PA.

Won’t the foxes run off all the other wildlife? They’re known to to be very sly killers and become a nuisance. The older foxes could be brothers or sisters just babysitting while the parents are busy making more puppies. Sorry to spoil everyone’s Marlin Perkins moment but I’d run them off.
I've lived in Penn's woods all of my life, and have enjoyed watching, Hunting, and Trapping, and Eating her Wildlife. We're glad this Fox family has decided to dwell here for at least a short while, and we know they'll be splitting up in a few months to each have their own area to roam.
We may lose a few rabbits & Hopefully some Skunks & Mice, and maybe even a cat or two that people wrongfully allow to run around all day & night. We just saw one of the adult Foxes today, which was the first we saw of them for more than a week, but if they cause a problem, which I doubt, We can always either shoot or trap them.
I have more trouble with mice here than I could possibly have with Foxes.
Mice can't get into my house, because I personally sealed it up, but they are in my Garage & my front porch, wrecking things in both of those places (Car & Generator).
I guess it's all just Mother Nature doing what she does, and if people can't handle it they shouldn't be living out in the Boonies.

pictures like this is the very reason my wife and I are wanting out of the subdivision and city. We want to get a patch of land out somewhere so that we can sit on the deck and watch the wildlife. We have a 5 year plan but we are ready to do it now.
