Mom fox and two kits
May 2, 2007
gary called to say that mom was out with two of the kids, so i grabbed the camera and ran over. we watched them in their backyard and then over to the south neighbors' yard. they played and tumbled around coming back to mom as if for approval. they briefly disappeared into the next south yard where there had been a den the two previous years. then they came back and played some more venturing up toward the side yard between the gary's and the neighbor's house. they went toward the backyards and one kit disappeared, we think toward the former den. maybe it's a den this family is using also. the mom and kit continued to wander along the terraces and then into diane's yard and under the evergreen where we first observed them. eventually they came out again, and went down toward the lake, then the mom went to the south, and the kit stayed under the evergreen.
