Ok, so are you ready for cuteness overload? Well I certainly am!
Determined to have a “baby week” last week, I went in search of babies. It took traveling to three states, but totally worth the effort.
Today’s darlings are the fox kits at Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge in Smyrna, Delaware. There are two fox dens that are known. One is fairly open, but all were staying deep inside. The other is along the forest’s edge amongst the brambles. Two darling kits frolicked in the early morn.
I was able to enjoy them pounce practicing, and wrestling each other within the briar patch. One, with a moment of curiosity stepped out to look around.
A fellow photographer Russell Clark of Clarkes Captures lives just outside of Bombay Hook and has been able to photograph these little darlings since they were just a couple of weeks old.
Oh how I envy him being able to enjoy these cuties. Each day I think of these kits and wish I could play with them. If only they were in my backyard.
Check out Russell Clark’s Youtube channel as there are several short clips of these fox kits, practically from birth! In this one, a kit has a rabbit, but it got stuck on a stick. Struggle as he might he just couldn’t get it loose.

You have got to click on Clarks Capture’s link. (in blue) it’ll take you to his flickr page with all sorts of great fox pics.
And the videos? Awesome !! They are so tiny in them.
Heading over! 🙂
Magnificent shots, Bella. They are adorable.
Thanks Steven ! I’ve been dreaming of fox kits every day. How I miss them, and they’re growing up fast!
They’re probably one of my favorite wild animals. But not so good to have around when you have chickens. 🙂
Indeed ! I saw my fox today, but she was quick and elusive.
Great pictures. Love to photograph them. Sometime.

Perhaps one day you will. These foxes were your best bet, but I bet we can find them next spring too.
I just love those cute photos. Especially those green eyes looking into the camera. These photos must have been a real pleasure to take.
It was so much fun David ! I wish I could have spent hours with them. Thank you!
Definitely a cuteness overload – how sweet!
They were so adorable, and when they pounced? Priceless!
So cute!!
Thanks Mary!
I love this post! The images are wonderful!
I am so thrilled that you loved these little kits so much. Thank you!
They are really adorable, but, who knows? You might have your very own kittens very soon if Foxy plalys her cards right! 😉
I’m wondering Fatima. Heard I missed possibly another fox in the garden this morning, and I think I found a den hole. Now how cool would that be? I’m still hoping.
Fabulous photos Em……just had the wife going “Ahh….so cute!”
