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.

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

This Kit and several other Kits had been hanging out in a dirt pile in my back yard and this part was cool, I got to take photos of them while I was sitting in the house!

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 fuzzy little bundle of baby fox was curious about me. I was very fortunate that he was and I got a couple shots before they vanished. Mom's tail was wagging by his face. :)

Being near wildlife over an extended period of time builds a trust between the subject and the photographer. After visiting an Arctic Fox den for a few weeks, the kits became accustomed to the clicking of the photographer's camera. In this photo, this kit was sleeping while the photographer sat about 10 feet away. When he awoke, he simply looked at the camera a few moments, stretched and walked off into his den.

Young male foxes (dog fox) have been found to travel 250 km to their new territory after leaving their parents.
Just as I decided that pappa had disappeared ( the mangy one) , Momma fox had moved her 5 kits into a woodchuck hole/ den about 80 yards from my house. Something I have been hoping would happen for the last few years. She is gone all day and night, feeding herself and her kids.They are so stinking cute.
