Ramblings of a Ranger

TGIF
Mood:  happy
It is like clockwork. 9AM and the baby foxes come out to play. I was able to get some good shots this time. I discovered that there are actually 5 kits. Which is HIGHLY unusual. Normal they have two...sometimes 3 if food is plentiful. But 5? WOW. Momma must be finding enough food because they all look fat and healthy. They didn't seem to be too concerned with me being there. Momma came up behind me in the woods and barked a couple of times and then she must of realized I wasn't a threat because she laid down and started grooming herself. I tried to get pictures of her but she was surround by too many trees. So I just settled for pictures of the little ones. I sat there for awhile and watched them play. Momma had caught a rabbit and they took turns throwing in the air and playing tug-of-war with it. I got some video footage as well but it is apparently too big to load on Angelfire. So you will just have to settle for the pictures. I really love my job. :)

Enjoy!

Thanks! I am going to try to crop them better at home. The photo software I have at work isn't very good. I think I could have stayed out there and watched them all day.
