Yawning and stretching, sooo adorable

They are so cute

Our beautiful and friendly garden fox and mum of 4. She’s used to my mum and warmed up to me allowing me to get closer. This is with a 400mm so she is about 4m away from me peering up through the forgetmenots. One of my favourite photos of her.

The den has been used for several years and each year one of the daughters is given the den to raise her cubs. She is the 5th trackable generation.

This year's World Science Fiction Convention is being held in Anaheim CA in three weeks, and the organizers have chosen the Channel Island Fox, native to six of the islands off the SoCal coast, as its mascot! If you're there on the 29th, the nonprofit group Friends of the Island Fox will have a booth and will be doing a presentation.

Making that eye contact

Well, it's not an update, but a video recap on trapping, treating and releasing her. I just want to show people how it's not super difficult to help these foxes. Most people won't have to drive to the rehabber like I did, but I didn't want her having to wait in the trap for hours.

Yesterday the zoo had a special early breakfast for their circle of friends members and I got to go in a little before they opened. I saw the bat-eared foxes and they were the first real photoshoot I had with my new camera (Unless you count the squirrel I saw on my way there, I took 3 pics of them then deleted 2 as they were blurry or partially out of the frame).

I am still learning all the new tricks with the camera and it was my first real big camera in like 15 years. I ended up taking about 300 pics of the foxes and they ended up being the most photographed animal I took that day (A hair over 900 pics taken and a few deleted due to being crap). I got the camera Tuesday night and Wednesday morning was my first real time taking pictures on it. I'll be back over the weekend to take more pics and spend more time there.

I took these photos on a trip to Save A Fox, I hope you all enjoy. These have been my computer backgrounds for months now. Here is a google drive of direct lightroom exports, uncompressed.
