Backyard Nighttime Nature in New Jersey.
I had a new visitor at critter trap near my garden. This is the first time I have seen a fox in the neighborhood for nearly 25 years. At that time they were wiped out by rabies. Afterwards, the rabbit population exploded. This year I have only seen one rabbit, and wondered what predator was keeping the rabbit population down.
