Tom Scanlan of Breckenridge took this photo in October 2011 and used the following description: "5:45PM, deck of our house at 11,000 feet on the side of Mt. Baldy, Breckenridge. Mr. Red Fox decided to check out what was going on in the kitchen! Looked in, was a little bored because I didn't ask him in, so it was nap time!! We live at edge of treeline, with everything north of us undeveloped for miles at this altitude. Guess Mr. Fox is used to us!!"

Inga Brennan of Golden submitted this photo in March 2008 of a "silver/red fox hybrid" ("very likely a genetic mix between wild red fox and fur farm escapees generations ago.") She writes that "this fox is on Lookout Mountain where there used to be fur farms back in the 40s and 50s. Some animals escaped to breed with wild populations, and occasionally one may see an unusual coat color. I have also seen a pure black one here, as well." "This silver male has bred with a red female who is denning under my deck and we believe she has recently given birth. It will be exciting to see the kits & what colors they turn out to be!"

Thank you – what an enjoyable slideshow. I’m happy to know others appreciate these remarkable wildlife neighbors of ours.

I love visiting this news-site, simply because it ranks amongst the best, not just in the U.S., but globally, in providing photos submitted by the public of their local wildlife. I’ve just looked at all these photos of the foxes – they’re absolutely superb – well done to each and every photographer. I especially like Ms. Humphery’s photo of her cat and the fox. I always think, cats and foxes share many traits. Your foxes are very similar to our foxes in Britain, except, perhaps, that their fur is longer and thicker – a characteristic of living near to the colder climes of the Rockies I suspect. Interestingly, (or not), I have a very old book of North American mammals with a section on foxes. Looking at these photos I was attempting to gauge the size of the adults to the dimensions given in the book of the Eastern Grey Fox and something called a Kit Fox – something that was difficult, even given the excellent quality of the photos. Anyway, nice work, and thanks to C.B.S. Denver for providing the opportunity to view the work. It’s refreshing to see people so interested in their wildlife – of which the U.S. and Canada is blessed with an abundance in variety. Please keep it coming!
