It’s
not at all uncommon to see the foxes during the day time. I
don’t believe that they are showing a disease problem. My
back yard gets visited frequently every year.

I've heard it said, but don't know if
true, that foxes will hunt during the day when they have
young to feed. It doesn't necessarily mean they're
unhealthy. We use to have foxes at our property and as the
young became active they would play in my horse pasture and
flop out to nap in the sun. I still have photos of my horse
and the kits/pups.

I've also seen the fox now on two
different occasions, both in daylight. On Friday
evening, I saw him hunting in the large field across
from Kendall. On Sunday at about 6pm, I saw him
leisurely sauntering up the hill on the sidewalk near
the fences before the golf course starts. I turned my
car around because I'd never seen a fox so close to cars
and people. Of course as I tried to take a pix, s/he
slipped under the fence, I did manage to get one shot.
He is one of the largest fox I've ever seen. He has
some hair loss, but it might just be spring shedding.
I'm happy to email the pix.
