This guy and the other foxes I have posted lately are all wild gray foxes. This is Mom's third year coming back to the same den and raising her family.
Since we live in New Orleans we have been helping with the flooded areas. Several shelters were under water as well as people unable to care for their pets. This is one of the babies that was rescued from the floods. We named him Murphy. He is healthy but still pretty traumatized.
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.

Evening light on the Kit Fox HIlls, Death Valley
This photograph was a bit of a lucky catch. I had gone to an elevated location where I had a more commanding view of a wide section of Death Valley, but late-afternoon clouds had drifted in above the Cottonwood Mountains to the west and the light ranged from filtered to "blah." I try to "read" the clouds to predict what may come, and my reading on the conditions was that a small gap between the bottom of the cloud bank and the top of the mountains would produce a brief bit of good light just before the sun dropped beyond the peaks. These predictions don't always pan out, but this one did. The light first appeared a great distance away at the upper end of the valley, but soon worked its way south across the Grapevine Mountains and then flowed across the low Kit Fox Hills.
I've been intrigued by this small row of furrowed hills for a long time. Their coloration and patterns let them stand out from the less differentiated material of the washes above and below them. I did a bit of reading about them during this recent trip, and I understand that they are a remnant of a very old earthquake fault along the west side of the valley. (There are fault zones along the sides of Death Valley, separating the rising mountains from the valley, which is largely filled with material washed down from the mountains.)

Red Fox Kit in Algonquin Provincial Park. I managed to get a few more photos processed but today is a busy day of cleaning fox pee off my tripod and Gopro, bear slobber off my backpack and jacket, unpacking, laundry, repacking, cleaning camera gear (more bear slobber). Having said all this...I've just realized how strange my life is :-) lol
I do not share exact locations in any more detail than I've provided above. Our wildlife should be protected and when locations are shared these animals are put at risk. Please do not ask. Any comments "outing" the locations will be deleted.

A real joy to finally meet the pair of pine marten kits whose antics have been entertaining me via my trail camera footage.
My husband brought a kitten home. It'd been living under a shipping crate in his hospital's parking lot.
I'm not sure how to feel - except that this is the busiest time of the year! He sure is cute. I want to name him Toothless - from How to Train Your Dragon :)

This sewing kit was made using a combination of a tutorial from Lots of Pink Here and a tutorial from NanaCompany for a needlebook. I used their basic ideas but changed all the measurements.
