Very cool! Just curious on how do you tell which one is male vs female?
I happen to see a pair of grey fox together like that in my back yes once but haven’t seen them both together again.

QBALL - I can't speak for MA or CA where you are, but here in KS the male is the one on top.

TBH I can't tell, especially from a night IR video.
All I know is their habits, and all the evidence points me to a paired couple.
Grey Foxes, unlike Reds, mate for life and the males teach their kits how to hunt. If the second one was a Kit, is was awfully big!!

Given all the challenges we face as MA residents, political wackiness, high taxes, over crowding etc, we are blessed with diverse wildlife populations!!

DDT almost wiped them out in the 50's. It was outlawed by the 70's. It got a lot of birds but hit apex predators first because it had a long half life and would run off the fields into the watershed where the fish would concentrate it. That resulted in a weakening of the egg shells. Lots of eagles and ospreys then failed to reproduce. Almost ended them in only a few years.
Sorry. Did not think before I posted ... No intent to hijack the thread.
Love those Grays. Haven't seen one in thirty years ... Moved back east.
