Three species of foxes live in Arizona: the red, the kit and the gray. The red is relatively uncommon, only found in the northeastern corner of the state. The kit is more widespread, venturing out of his desert den mostly at night. However the gray fox is found throughout the Grand Canyon State. And he is active during the day, so I shouldn't have been surprised when I spotted an individual during one of my birding expeditions in Prescott.
Folklore has made foxes famous for their cunning and trickery, and a fox guarding the hen house is some one that might exploit what he is protecting. Since it was the very first time I've seen one of these crafty mammals in the wild, I'll assume he let me encounter him for his own secretive purposes.
