Young Fox

This seems to be a nature blog these days! When Laurel was here in June she espied the neighborhood fox with three little kits. Sunday afternoon, after the farmer cut down the grasses in the field behind the house I saw one of the kits looking for mice. He seemed to pose for me, so I took a few photos. He must be about 3 months old now. I have enjoyed watching these playful animals learn to hunt near the water drainage area behind our house. It's like watching the nature channel on tv - only live action!
