Red Fox (Vulpes Vulpes)
In Westchester, the most common fox is the red fox. Typically, these foxes will measure from 14 to 20 inches to the shoulder and 18 to 35 inches in body length. Foxes are typically nocturnal but often hunt during the evenings and early mornings as well. Their diets mainly consist of small animals such as mice, birds, insects, fruit, squirrels, woodchucks, and even chickens. Their mating season lasts only during a three-week period in the spring. Their kits (litters) often consist of four to six, but can go as high as 13.

Fox Prevention
If you see a fox on your property, there may be a den. Being timid, a simple solution to prevent them is to scare them from a small distance. Loud noises and fast movement, such as waving your arms, will often scare foxes away. Try not to leave any garbage or food (birdseed included), as this may attract them.
