  • Daytime Gray Fox & Rabbit Escape

    Given they tend to be crepuscular/nocturnal, I tend not to catch gray fox on the trailcams during daylight hours. So these videos are definitely the exception. The gray fox spies the rabbit, watches, makes a move, and the rabbit slips off. The gray fox then trots towards the camera, looks to be in pretty good…

  • Amongst my Favourite Gray Fox Videos of 2024

    I feel very fortunate that the developing habitat that I maintain the trail in has met with the approval of gray fox. Although I capture them fairly regularly on video, I’ve never actually seen one when I’ve been out and about. I especially like these videos as they show two together, one in the snow,…

  • Video & Audio of Squabbling Gray Foxes

    First time I’ve captured three gray foxes on a video. Consulting with a wildlife biologist friend, this may be a male being chased off by another male; the female appearing later. The video isn’t fantastic, but the audio is pretty impressive.

  • Gray Fox & Bobcat Chasing Each Other

    The sequence of videos shows in interaction between a gray fox and bobcat Luckily for the fox, the bobcat was a juvenile otherwise this could have ended rather differently. The gray fox showed a lot of spunk, and its good to see these species recovering together.

I have several apple trees and the gray fox have been enjoying the fruit the last couple of months. I dumped a couple of buckets…

  • Pair of Gray Fox

    Pair of gray fox interacting, they look in great shape going into the Winter. The audio here is really interesting, too. The day/time is wrong as I forgot to correct them when I replaced the batteries, but the video was taken during the night of November 16 2023.

  • Gray Fox

    When I originally began capturing pictures of gray fox I was so ignorant about them that I assumed I was just getting poor images of red fox, or coyotes. I also thought I’d be unlikely to see them as they are classified as a “Species of Concern” by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division…

  • Bobcat Video & Gray Fox Audio

    One of my favourite captures of all time, cool video of a bobcat with the distinctive bark of a gray fox; we only occasionally hear this and it may be consistent with their mating season.
