Had the opportunity to photograph some baby Red Foxes this evening from my vehicle! It was cloudy from a storm moving into the area and all of the pictures needed some cropping . . . reason the photos were not perfect! But they were a blast to watch!

May First

It is absolutely amazing how quickly birds arrive once you get the most perfect southern winds!
