This seems to be the spring for red fox in western Wyoming. It’s not that we have more of them, but we’ve got a few litters that have been more visible than usual. Fortunately they aren’t near our lambing grounds, so they aren’t in areas where conflicts would be expected.
I spotted six kits at this den at the entrance to a cattle ranch along a county road.
Do foxes actually kill sheep?
Yes, fox kill newborn lambs (not adult sheep).
