I checked on the den after work this evening. Unfortunately the kits weren’t very active. Only three were out, and they mostly just slept.

This kit was looking for a better spot to nap.

Today I learned from a friend that the fox den we photographed last year is again occupied. Interestingly there appears to be two different litters. It was difficult to get an accurate count, but there are at least eight kits. Three or four of them were easily twice as big as the others, yet still smaller than an adult. I don’t know why two different litters would be raised in the same den, but that definitely seems to be the case.

The size difference is fairly evident in the above and below images.
