In Arizona, May carries 9.4% of the year's foxes sightings, about 1.1 points above an even month-to-month split. That makes it the 5th busiest of the twelve months, out of 12 months with recorded activity.
Activity is easing off from April (11.9%) into May, and it heads toward June (6.9%) after. The busiest month is April (11.9%), so if timing is flexible, that window is the safer bet.
The foxes most often recorded in Arizona are Kit Fox and Red Fox. Those counts are annual totals rather than a May split, so treat them as which species you are likely to encounter, while the month figures above show how many sightings fall in May itself.
