Curious as to why a fox would be over here mid Suffolk. Maybe they are coming from Hecksher Park?
I live in Nesconset, I have seen many times fox in my back yard and front.

Lubby -- here's a fact sheet if you haven't already seen it. It might answer some questions:

Default We had one that lived in our neighborhood

We used to have a fox that lived in our neighborhood. I'm in Mt. Sinai.
Used to see him around for a couple of years. I don't think they're uncommon at all.

Saw them in my backyard from time to time when I lived in Cold Spring Harbor; they put a dent in my chicken population (until I had to find a new home for the remaining chickens).
It was just down the block from the Nature Conservancy location, which might have something to do with it

My husband saw a fox last week in Islip and told my neighbor and they saw one on Ferndale Ave. I know others have seen then on Brook St. We had alot of rabbits in the neighborhood this year now that the fox is around the rabbits are gone.

I saw a fox two times last week. I found it fascinating the way they run, no bouncing of the body, just like an arrow. Beautiful creatures.
