Last week I mentioned having discovered that a
Red Fox had a den nearby and it had two kits. We have been hoping to catch a
glimpse of the young ones and I think this is one of them that we saw yesterday. It was a good size but it still has a baby look I think. Also its
behaviour spoke volumes of inexperience. When it saw us it didn't immed -iately get up from its resting place. Instead it just raised its head a bit to get a better look.
Then it finally stood, still rather curious about us standing at a distance on the railraod tracks, and then it turned and went back inside the den.
All of these photos were taken at a distance with a zoom lens and then some were further enchanced by cropping. The den is near a railroad tracks which is a frequently used path by many. This Fox family has probably watched many walk by each day since it chose this old Groundhog burrow as its home.

Great shots Ann, caught its character really nice.
ReplyDeleteHe does have such a cute baby face. Such a wonderful find.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty little fox! I like the color of the back feet...the touch of white. It looks like a healthy little creature. How great to see something like that on a a walk! I hope you see him many more times.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely photo! He looks like he walked through some black ink. I haven't seen the fox yet this year here but I have been hearing the cayotes howl in the evenings!
ReplyDeleteGreat find - and so cute! Well done!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Klaus
What a little cutie. In the standing shot you can practically see the question mark above his/her head, like in a cartoon. Thanks for my morning smile.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine how exciting that must have been. It does look like a baby, like it is all legs. Nice shots!
ReplyDeleteWOW!! It actually looks as though it's posing for shots :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent photo essay. What a pretty fox.

These shots are spectacular! You just don't get the opportunity to photograph these animals very often.
ReplyDeleteGreat job.
Have a wonderful Ruby Tuesday.
This is such a pretty fox. Great shots, Ann.
