Springtime means playtime for Fox kits

These two cuties provided me with a couple of hours of entertainment last weekend. They were quite content to relax and soak up the early morning sun most of the time but every now and then, they just couldn’t resist some playtime. They would run around, pounce on each other, nip and tackle. Only one other time have I photographed Fox kits so this was a rare and very fun encounter.

I am hearing that the mother has apparently moved the den and six kits to an unknown spot so my time with them may already be over. I was really hoping to get more chances to photograph them. Anyone know of any Fox dens in northern Colorado and care to share the location? 😉
