Bill Retzer may have seen the first Gray Fox kit of Spring several weeks ago.

Bill wrote, "It was a little after nine and, because of occasional visiting Raccoons, I’ve a habit of taking the hummingbird feeder in for the evening. I stepped out on the deck and this little guy was swinging the feeder back and forth and then licking off the sugar water that slopped out. The kit seemed quite content.”

I received another sighting of Gray Fox kits, a family of five little ones. I'll share the photo soon.

Clouds, fog, much cooler temperatures, and some rain on the way!

Spring doesn't know...

Brenna Dix spotted this sweet Gray Fox in a blackberry bush. It looks like he or she is enjoying the sun too.

Gray Foxes eat a varied diet, including small mammals and berries. Here's a video Brenna took of the kit enjoying a nice meal.

Thanks to Brenna for allowing me to share her photo and video with you here.

Lots of lovely clouds making for an interesting sky today.

Michael Beattie photographed one of three Gray Fox kits under the deck of the Pacific Community Charter School in Point Arena.

The kits love to play and wrestle with each other. Having a family under a deck or woodshed is guaranteed to give  you many hours of fun watching their antics.

Thanks to  Michael for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

Sunny and breezy seems to be the name of the weather game these days. The sunrise this morning was spectacular but very fleeting. If someone got a photo of it, I hope to share it here.

Craig Tooley photographed this Gray Fox checking out his woodshed. It's the same woodshed where a mother Gray Fox gave birth to a family of little kits. He's hoping he may be so lucky again this year.

Craig's photo of one of those fox kits became the cover photo for our book, Mendonoma Sightings Throughout the Year. How wonderful is that?!

This photo was taken in late August and this kit has undoubtedly grown since then.

Thanks to Glenn for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
