I visited the den today and was excited to find out that there are six kits not 5! There are two cottages that they have been denning under and there are a lot of trees and bushes so it is often hard to see how many kits there are! Today she nursed them and I counted 6. The kits are getting bigger and are often wondering off on their own and exploring the environment around them! I also got a glimpse of papa fox but he is a bit shy! I read that the male gray fox helps supply food for the family but he actually does not stay in the den with them!
Went to see the Fox family to see how much the kits have grown. This one is almost as big as it's momma.

...when the meal is done, bones became a play thing. From earlier in the spring...hope these adorable foxes fended well for themselves as they began to explore the world around their den. Nikon D850 and Nikon 200 to 500mm lens.
Funny how cute these little fellas are and how they gorw up to be eaten machines. Glad to have them around. This lil' Red Fox kit was quite interested in me until mama told him to do otherwise and then he disappeared into thte brush.

Back in April I headed out to the Carrizo Plain in search of Kit Foxes. This family wasn’t at the spot I’d been told where a den had been seen...although a family was there also...too far away for me to get any good photos, but I was thrilled to be sitting in my car watching through my long lens on my camera as they played, scratched, got loves from mom, etc. Feeling content that I found the right area and got a fun sighting in, I headed toward home. But then two little ears caught my eye on the side of the road, so of course I stopped. Sure enough, those little ears were Kit Fox pup ears. I stopped the car, turned it off, prayed for no cars to pass me on the dirt road, took a deep breath and started shooting. I was even able to open and get half of myself out my sunroof for a clearer shot. They didn’t care. I watched for about 10 minutes, trying to remember to breath and not make any quick movements or scary sounds. Wow!
Even in April, these pups seemed not so small, and as it’s likely the pups have dispersed (when the pups are about 4 months old family bonds lessen and they disperse-see link below), I’m excited to share this photo of two pups and mom in the back.
I’m grateful that the San Joaquin Kit Foxes have a safe place to birth and raise their young on the Carrizo Plain.
Ran into some fox kits on my walk this morning. Beyond these shots, I have a few dozen mosquito bites to prove it.
On our relaxed, early morning country wanderings seeking wildlife to photograph, my full-time spotter sitting in an adjacent seat in our vehicle always laughs whenever I am fortunate to capture an animal or bird that I haven’t been able to before.
She knows what comes next. She is married to an infoholic. New sightings drive me to scour the internet to find out whatever I can about a creature or bird.
On a foggy morning last weekend, we passed an outlet from a smaller lake west of Grandy, MN that tunneled under the county road from one side to the other. There was still open water lined on each side by white ice. I noticed steady movement in the water and figured it was a muskrat but as it clambered up onto the ice, its long flat tail gave away its species.
It was a beaver. There are a lot of beavers in Minnesota so many that between 20-30,000 are harvested each year by hunters and trappers. A century or more ago, the pelts of beavers brought in good money as they were used for hats, coats and other bits of clothing for many of the more wealthy folks. Today, not so much.
The newly born young ones are called kits and are born to a male and female that mate for life with a normal lifespan of 10-12 years. Yearling beavers hang around the family unit and help take care of the next litter when they are born. Although it is common for beavers to have 3-4 offspring in the spring, they can have up to 9 kits that are born after a short 3 month gestation.
Beavers continue to grow their entire lives and older ones can reach 3-4 feet in length, including their tail and rank as our largest rodent and can top out around 60 pounds.
The next time you come face to face with a beaver, thank them for their important contribution to wildlife as through their unique construction projects around waterways they provide a rich environment for other wildlife.
