Went out and watched the kits the other night and they are so curious and so darn adorable.

These Kit Foxes had just come out of their den! I took this image at the start of my owning a digital camera Nikon D7000-boy did I have a lot to learn...and still learning....

I traveled all the way from Florida to California in a failed attempt to photograph Bobcats. We, of course, have them in Florida. Recently, a family of Bobcats has taken up residence at a local wildlife refuge, and as such, is more tolerant of humans than would otherwise be the case. I only had a few days to try to get some images any only got lucky twice on several attempts. This one's my favorite.

Looking for Help

Mom and three kits were caught on camera almost every night in our backyard. Mom and one of her kits stopped showing up. Concerned for the two little ones left behind (and visible on camera) I called the Fish and Wildlife Dept. When I told them mom and one kit had been gone for two weeks, I was told mom was probably NOT coming back, that she was either dead or trapped. After speaking to them we decided to let nature take it's course. Eventually, they would leave on their own.

Well, I am really relieved to say after over 3 weeks mom and the other kit are back with the two left behind. The three little ones were rolling around in the yard as if they were happy to see each other...and all four walking the fence line with mom in the lead! (Now I can sleep better!)

I appreciate your visit and so grateful for your comments/faves!

Stay safe and healthy!!

Thank you for viewing.

Waiting for Mom to return with breakfast this Fox Kit takes a break from the roll and tumbles with its siblings.

One kit wants to nurse while other wants to go for ride

Honestly, another quick-edit headshot. Playtime!

Love you, girly!

Even foxes look at the same thing in different ways

Sitting and watching the photographer, a fox kit enjoys a warm summer day. This kit was probably born in April, so it is about 3 months old. Summer is short and in another month, this kit will be full grown and out hunting on its own.

I always thought children grew up to fast, and we have them in our care for between 15 and 20 years. A fox kit is born and on its own in less than 4 months.

At a hide near to Blairgowrie in Perthshire, I was waiting excitedly for pine martens to appear, but I was overjoyed when they brought along their kit. The whole experience a joyful one, especially as it was my 65th birthday.

This little guy was as curious about me as I was of him. Photo captured in my yard near Owasso, Oklahoma.

On an undulating boardwalk in Norfolk. This is not the sharpest image and is heavily cropped, but it was fantastic to watch.
