I saw this fox back in January one time but couldn’t get a shot.  Last night I saw the little guy (or gal) near the road on my way home from work. Luckily I keep my camera riding shotgun most of the time so I was ready. I got a few shots off before he wandered off.

My first black fox. Hopefully next time we meet it will be in better light.

Still Momma and two chicks in the nest… This is a heavily cropped shot, the best I could do shooting through the tree limbs. Not gonna win any awards with it but still good times.
