p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · First time with foxes

This was the first time I have had an opportunity to photograph fox kits, and it sure was fun!

As always, C&C are welcome and encouraged.

EDIT: I understand the comments on the last image, and the concern about whether I was disturbing the foxes. This fox den is right next to a public location, and there is a chain link fence separating them. The den has been in this location for several years and is well known. These photos were taken while standing on the public path where many people walked by, some with their dogs. While I am no fox expert by any stretch, I feel pretty confident that they were not very concerned about my presence. The adult foxes showed themselves very rarely, and mostly didn't pay any attention to me. These shots were all taken with a 500mm lens and significantly cropped. I hope the foxes were not bothered by the photo session, as that certainly is not my intention.

Kevin

Sooooo, sweet

. In the last one that mamma fox is looking at you a bit menacingly, as if she is saying: "hey, back of from my kids". Well done

Nice set, Kevin! They look pretty healthy and well-fed. Fox kits are cute and very playful. They are a lot of fun to watch and photograph.

Wonderful images Kevin. Saw my first fox kit the other day napping and well tucked away but the den is in a fairly high traffic area too. Mom looks inquisitive more than at all disturbed as I see it. Nice work and nice respect for the situation as well

Congrats!
