Red Kit
What you don't see is the persistence and preparation. Usually that's what wildlife photography comes down to. Over the last two years my wife and I have walked from our house to a local fox den more than 100 times. She walks every day, so she's probably been closer to 200 times. We go each Spring to see if the mom or kits are out. Sometimes we'll catch them playing in the grass. Other times we'll get a glimpse of them in the woods. Most of the time we don't see them or they spook quickly. I got a break recently and ran into this kit on the edge of the woods. The kit was quite curious and allowed me to hang out for about 30 minutes while it alternated between hunting and playing. Hoping I will have a few more to share as I go through my pics. It was so rewarding to see my efforts pay off.
