TexAgs,
Any idea what this is? I'm thinking a fox. They aren't unheard of around here but never show up on my barnyard game cameras as opposed to coyotes and all the neighbors' loose dogs. This is in Austin County.

For size comparison, photo #2 is of Blackie the barn cat.

I'm going to say it's a Fox.

Fox… most likely red fox due to the dark leg

These are my exact thoughts. Likely red fox.

I appreciate the responses. Thanks!

I just checked Google. I know the photo isn't very good, and because of the blurriness Google couldn't narrow it down beyond that it might be a grey fox...or a raccoon...or possibly even a coyote or bobcat. So much for that.

I haven't noticed anything in particular with that barn, but it's old enough. The game camera that took the photo is attached to an old farmhouse that dates back to the 1890's. Going into that old house is kind of creepy. The barn is from that same time period.
