The Fox is (Not) in the Hen House

Beth and I had been out a few nights ago, and pulled in the driveway just as the sun was sinking below the horizon. I shut the car off and we just sat for a moment, enjoying God’s creation, when I noticed something moving in our open shed.

“Hey! Look at those kittens,” I said.

Upon closer examination, we determined they weren’t kittens after all (none of our cats were ‘expecting’ for one thing), but rather, were Red Fox kits. I made these photos the next morning, but as you can see in this second one, the Momma Fox saw me and quickly disappeared. We haven’t seen the kits since, so I suspect she moved them someplace farther away from the house.
