Got back from a week away to find that we have five fox kits living under our corn crib. Haven't seen them yet today. They're mostly nocturnal, but still I'm hoping that yesterday's photo forays haven't upset mama fox so much that she's moved them overnight.

Great photos C,how did you get so close.
They fill me with dread though,they have recently been introduced to Tas-f....n disaster.
Foxes were introduced deliberately? I thought we knew better than to do that, after the rabbit debacle. Or -- please say it ain't so -- were they introduced to kill the rabbits?
They fill me with dread too -- mama will kill our cat if he gets out. He's being kept indoors and is disgusted and deeply depressed, poor lad. The foxes may have moved on, though: yesterday I wasn't able to get so close, and I haven't seen them yet today.
They are both cute and beautiful. Though I think of them as chicken killers so I'm not eager to see any around here. When I lived in California I had an illegal flock of hens that a neighbor forced me to get rid of. so my friend who lived close by, but on the mountain, adopted my hens. Unfortunately a dog ate two of them, and a fox ate the other one.
My friend has learned not to let her hens (she's gotten her own flock now) free range.
Awesome. I've never seen baby foxes.
Thanks for sharing these pics.
suffer the little foxes...
