I have to thank Glenn Alexon for sharing the location of this pair of beautiful foxes with me near Calgary.

 

Enjoy!

    • Thanks for the comment! I can’t give specific directions as the person who shared this location with me has asked me to keep it a little quiet, as to not have people always out in the area taking photos. That said, they were taken a little west of the city, and in that same area I’ve seen at least three distinct families of foxes, all within fairly close proximity, so as long as you’re up early in the morning and keep your eyes out for a flash of red in the tall grasses, you may just have good luck as well!

  1. I am so pleased to see these pictures. I was in Australia and just sickened by how these creatures are persecuted when they hunt the rabbits which are over-running everything.
