Red fox kits peek out of their den on San Juan Island. Though they are young and slightly apprehensive, they are still very curious. With five kits to care for, mom has her hands full and spends her days hunting to provide much needed energy to her rapidly growing kits.
What a great shot. I love the backlighting in this shot. Even more so, I like that the fox on the left is much darker than the two next to it. It gives it some character. Would love to be able to find a fox den and photograph kits.
