fox or coyote?

As I was getting the kids ready this morning, I saw this guy in the backyard.






Fox? Coyote?
I wish I had time to chat, but I think I am going to pack up the kids and go out and about with abigail....

  1. Looks like a fox to me...we get them in our back yard too, usually very early in the morning or the middle of the night.

  2. Looks like a fox to me b/c of the orangy tone to it..

  3. Looks more like a fox to me. Coyotes look like small wolves, in my opinion.

  4. I'm pretty sure it's an elephant. We have those back in the orchard and they're always blowing their trumpets when it's time to go to bed at night. :)

  5. Can't be positive, but it looks like a fox. We have coyotes in the forest preserves that surround our neighborhood, and they tend to be shaggier, grayer, and shaped a little differently.

    Now, you have to guard your hen house! ;-) lol

  7. Yes, I do think he is a fox too. We have lots of coyotes around here too, way out back. We can hear them howling sometimes, and it sounds so spooky.
