GFC and Admiral,
You've done it once again, great pics !! I loved the pics of the foxes and the beavers. We saw a beaver swimming around in the Ogden river last summer when we were eating at "The Oaks" restraunt. It's located right on the river. Admiral and I saw a red fox on base two weeks ago crossing the street headed down towards the pond area. I'd heard there were foxes there, but had never seen any.
You guys live in a beautiful area. I keep saying that I need to get up your way....
Thanks again for the great pics.

We went back out there a little earlier tonight to see if the light would be better. It was, and I got a few more pics. Still no sign of the parents, just these two pups sitting outside their den. The den is to the right of where the two are sitting. They knew we were there and weren't spooked at all by our presence.

It's just amazing to me that these wild animals live right along the river. When we bought this house a little over a year ago we never in our wildest dreams ever imagined we'd be seeing things like this right in our own neighborhood. Pretty amazing.

Thanks everyone for the comments on the pics and the boat. I'm still a basic rookie with a cheapo camera compared to Troop and the shots he takes, but I'm learning.

Great shots GFC!!

Are you sure those aren't adults and not kits? I assume you zoomed in for the photos, so its a little hard to get a good size perspective on those guys.

Just as an FYI, the coat color changes to red after about 65 days, so if they are kits, they are at least 2 months old. Average whelping dates for red foxes is March 30, so that may help to age them. Our wildlife vets here actually age kits by measuring the length of the feet (in mm). So, if GW can catch one, get out your metric ruler and get a quick measurement. Send it to me and I'll cross reference it with one of our aging tables.

Great shots GFC, the sunset shots are gorgeous, beautiful area. Nice wildlife shots as well, thanks for sharing.

Great nature shots. Loved the sunset but the foxes are my favorite (that and the one of your SeaRay ).

Nice.

Nice shots, looks like a nice way to play hookey.

Fox pups are great. There's a den about 300 feet behind my house and we see an adult that steals the tastiest bits out of our compost pile now and then. Have not seen any pups though.

My favorite shot was of your boat. WOW!

Also nice wildlife shots. Looks and sounds like you enjoyed yourselves.
