This fox was hanging out at our back gate around noon today.
He/she was lying under the bird feeder licking up seeds.....then went into the brush on the right of the photo.

I don't know why, but foxes are one of the very few common species I have never captured on a trail camera.

He was out like that in the daylight?

Yes, just got back from church and saw him.

I do think he might be ill. He laid down (as you can see) to lick up the bird seeds. He had his hind legs in odd position, I think.
He sure looks thin, but they never look plump.

I can't decide if that is light fur on his leg, or a bare spot with no hair.

The way he's holding his head down makes me think he may be ill or hurting.
