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?!

Glenn Funk found this Gray Fox kit enjoying the sun on top of his hot tub.

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.

I can't resist sharing one last photo by Kathy Bishop of a cute Gray Fox Kit lounging in the sun.

This little fox is exemplifying the Sea Ranch motto of living lightly on the land.

We are having a heat wave on the Mendonoma Coast. With no fog on the horizon there was a beautiful green flash last night a sunset. Tonight should be another great chance to see this phenomenon.

To see a photo of a green flash, here's the link: http://www.mendonomasightings.com/2012/02/07/the-green-flash-was-photographed-by-richard-kuehn/

Thanks to Kathy for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

Kathy Bishop photographed a family of three Gray Fox Kits recently. In this photo it looks as if the young fox is smiling.

And below is another one of the kits, looking as if it just heard or saw something of interest.

Gray Foxes are year round residents of the Mendonoma Coast. They are great rodent hunters and especially love Gophers.

Thanks to Kathy for allowing me to share her photos with you here.

Craig Tooley and Rita Peck had several days this week to enjoy a family of Gray Foxes near their home on The Sea Ranch. Frequent readers of this blog will know that Craig got some great photographs. Below is a photo of a young Fox Kit.

 And here Craig captured the mother Gray Fox nursing several of her young ones.

 And this Fox Kit decided to go for a different approach - nursing in comfort on its back!

Thanks to Craig for allowing me to share his photos here. To see more of Craig's Coast photographs, here's the link to his web site: http://ruffimage.com/
