Both Foxes On Camera

This snapshot is from the Cabin Yard cam on 2019-06-09 02:10:13AM. I’ll make a video clip so you can see the movements of each of the two foxes. Their eyes are visible here due to reflection of the IR light.

  1. I had been hoping to see some big-time action because an opossum had checked out the food area in front of the Foxcam, triggering this Reolink clip, but I can’t see any interaction between the foxes and the opossum. Incidentally, a raccoon had wandered around an hour earlier, visible on Cabin Drivewaycam and Birdcam at 1:03AM, and the housecat had come in the gate at 1:37AM. So a grand total of five animals for the night (two foxes, opossum, raccoon, cat) or six if you count the little deer grazing by the road in this Gatecam clip, in which one fox goes in the gate and the other trots past (note the barely-visible deer grazing on the other side of the road.) In the clip you can also see both foxes at the same time (just barely). One of our greatest clips.

    Here is a Cabin Yardcam video clip from the moment the first fox appears near the house (2:09:30) to the moment the second fox disappears from view in the front left periphery (2:10:32), but you’ll need to watch it very, very closely as the two foxes move around because they’re mostly visible due to their eyes in the IR light.

  2. In case anyone wants to see a chronology of the action, here are the cameras and times:
