Red Fox in Queens, NYC


My trail cams have photographed a red fox.  According to the Urban Park Rangers, Field Guide to the Natural World of New York City By Leslie Day, and multiple other sources, red foxes are known to exist in Queens only in Alley Pond Park, where they are quite rare. I  could not find any source that said red foxes are in the area where my camera caught one, or anywhere else in Queens outside of Alley Pond. The camera that took the photo below is in Udall's Cove Preserve. This is the first publically and photographically documented red fox in Queens outside of Alley Pond Park.
