Grey Foxes

I love these Grey fox kits, they flow through dense underbrush with unbelievable grace and elegance. They only come out at twilight and are quiet as ghosts. We made eye contact for a brief moment before he turned and melted into brush. Note the blue eyes which are so striking in the kits; they turn hazel as the fox matures.
Thanks!
Life is hard for these young foxes, and many don't survive to maturity; the mother gets frighteningly emaciated while nursing. When I found the den, I occasionally threw out some dog kibble for them. I like to think this little guy was looking over his shoulder to say "thanks". I like how the dappled sunlight backlights the fur and frames the face on this one.
