p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Red Fox pups (10)


Heading home Tuesday morning I detoured through the Petawawa forestry as I often do. Saw a set of ears poking up through the grass on the roadside. Slowed down and stopped to see a Red Fox pup. Shot the first two from the van.

Further investigation, ie: got out of the van and looked, showed a den there.

Wednesday evening had to go back to Petawawa so I left early and went through the forestry again. This time approaching from the west. This time I saw a total of 3 pups although never together.

I parked the van about 30 yards from the den and could see the pups. I got out and crossed the road to approach on foot. Casually walked forward a few steps at a time keeping the camera up and in front of my face to hide my eyes. Don't know if this really helped but didn't want to stare them down. Never a good idea to challange a strange dog by staring at it.

One of the pups disappeared on down the road. It didn't want anything to do with me. The second kept an eye on me but wasn't worried enough to disappear. Part way through shooting this one I realized a third had stuck it's head out to see what was going on.

For most of what you see here I was on the other side of the road. I walked past the pup and then back again. It was comfortable enough with me there to actually get back to playing as all youngsters should.

Great series with 7 being just about a perfect pose...and you sure have some strange rodents...never saw one like #8...or maybe it was just fetching your slippers. 3 and 5 are also top notch.

Thanks Eric.

Yah. I was surprised to see it pounce and then pop back up with a thong in it's mouth. Played with it a bit just like a puppy would 'teeth' on your slippers.

Thanks everyone. Drove by again this afternoon but I guess they were hiding from the afternoon heat. Up over 30C today.
