Gray Fox kits have been seen, as cute as can be, and photographed by Perry Hoffman.

Gray Fox kits are among the cutest of babies here on the Mendonoma Coast. Perry Hoffman recently found a den and patiently waited for over an hour for a sighting. Then he spent another hour photographing the action. The kits seem to play all day long!

And here's a photo of mom! Isn't she beautiful?

I love Gray Fox kits so much I chose Craig Tooley's photo of one for the cover of my book, Mendonoma Sightings Throughout the Year!

Thanks to Perry for allowing me to share his photos with you here. There will be another of Perry's photos of these kits in this week's Independent Coast Observer. To see much more of Perry's photography, here is the link to his website: https://magentaraven.com/

It's hot today! The predicted heatwave arrived. At dawn it was 65 degrees. It's in the high eighties this afternoon. And yesterday morning it rained a bit - talk about weather whiplash!
