Actually this was the first time they have ever hung around in the yard , Their den is just north of that cabin someplace. The male has been around for well over a year marking his territory and has been fun to watch . I usually don't give handouts to carnivores but a pine marten was hanging around so I left him a treat once in a while then Mr Fox got wind of it and chased the Marten off , I was surprised that didn't go the other way around.
