Many, many thanks to all of you who viewed, commented and even voted for this thread...I really appreciate all the nice words and support.
Every once in a long while something comes along that not only excites but moves you. Seeing the pure joy in these kits as they play together has been very special. Unfortunately some people do not quite understand exactly how to respect nature. After I left on Sunday evening a guy decided it would be a good idea to feed the kits chicken nuggets in order to try to get close up shots. Another photog even tried to climb under the structure the kits den in. A wildlife ranger was called and dealt with the situation but I am afraid the damage may have been done and the kits may have to be conditioned to avoid people with some negative reinforcement such as a blow horn. My friends, experiences like these are a privilege not a right, please respect WILDlife....getting the shot at any cost is just not worth it.

Thanks guys, I can't get enough of them either. Since I now know this is an annual occurrence in that location I will be back next year...but I think there are at least a few weeks left before they head off on their own.
