When you see a Coyote or Fox during the day – does that mean he is rabid or sick? ............... It is actually not unusual to see a coyote or fox out during the day................ Coyotes and Foxes will venture out during daylight hours in search of food................ Both animals are opportunistic feeders, hunting for food as the opportunity presents itself – regardless of day or night............. Additionally, both coyotes and foxes eat squirrels, and squirrels are only active during the day............. In areas with little or no human activity, Coyotes will hunt during the day, and when a litter of pups needs to be fed(pups born once a year in April or early May), they may have to hunt around the clock to feed their growing family

IT IS NOT UNCOMMON TO SEE
