Red Foxes at Bombay Hook NWR, DE

Winter at Bombay Hook is usually a pretty solid bet when it comes to trying to see Red Foxes. I made it there a few times this Winter, and all but one visit I saw Red Foxes.






I'd guess within a month some of the female foxes will give birth to Fox Kits! And then within another handful of weeks kits should start to show themselves, coming out of the dens for the first times.

By early May there were kits a couple years ago, and these looks sort of big, so maybe they're 5 weeks old.



These kits were smaller, and maybe 3 or so weeks old (from Blackwater Refuge):
