Red Fox

Having recently purchased an external hard drive I have been sorting and re-filing old photos and I came upon some that I had taken of a Red Fox. The first photo was taken in March, 2001. I had been driving along the road on the opposite side of the river when I spotted a fox crossing to the other side. This is my first picture ever taken of a fox.

The second photo is a much better view and this was taken last April, in 2006. In this photo the fox was trotting along the edge of the woods carrying something in its mouth. As the fox's young are born in April; I wonder if this fox was possibly carrying a young kit in it's mouth?
