Kidding aside... If you have suddenly seen a fox in the yard near your home, there is a good reason for this. It is denning season and the mother is protecting the kits from coyotes..A coyote will often find a fox den, dig out the babies, and kill them. A mother fox knows this and will frequently choose a den site close to people, away from where coyotes generally go. A fox will often den under a porch, shed, garage, barn, or side of a hill, trying to keep her little family safe. Please offer them a short-term rental because this is not a permanent situation. If you are lucky enough to see how beautiful an adult fox is, or witness the kits playing (at a distance of course), you will be glad you did! It is not uncommon for Red Foxes to change dens several times during the season, so you may not see them for long
