Hi Dan, hope your having a nice vacation and it was fun to read of your past experiences with our beloved red foxes! I've never had such an opportunity to watch them with their kits and that would be a special treat indeed!! My encounters with them have always been very brief and the last time was when I was out on an evening bike ride I came upon one that was trotting down the road in front of me. It was totally unaware of my presense as I stayed just far enough behind to enjoy my partner on the road, trotting and cute as the dickens!!
Thanks for sharing your love of the natural world with us!
