Pensive Fox Kit
Lens: Tamron 500mm f/8 mirror Camera: K-5iis Photo Location: UW Campus, Madison, WI ISO: 2500 Shutter Speed: 1/80s Aperture: F8

We had a fox dig a den right on one of the heavily-traveled main routes through campus, and the kits provided enormous entertainment for students and staff. I've seen Madison Metro bus drivers play "Make Way for Ducklings" as the mom and 5 kits crossed in front of their buses, and their playtime was pretty much joy distilled -- racing about, pouncing, wrestling, practicing being predators.

I caught this one in a rare moment of stillness, which was good as the Tammie is a slow lens and it was well into the evening.

Mom and two of the kits crossing Linden Drive. Or, more like just hanging out in Linden Drive, really.

Very nice captures! Fox can definitely adapt well to urban environments since people waste a lot of food and leave out pet food too!
