I also realize that this is just the way of life, and foxes gotta eat too, but damn.....I hate to see nature at work. I know what you mean about missing that rabbit. Happened to me with a little red squirrel. We had never had a red squirrel here (also in the city) and this was the first one I had ever seen. Watching it every day come to visit the feeders. One day, I was watching it, and out of nowhere comes this hawk and grabbed it right in front of my eyes. I was traumatized for a long time. I know, I know, hawks gotta eat too.
