I found this family of Red Foxes near a railroad track in an industrial area in Portland.
One of the kits even wandered into a parking lot and then took a tour of landscaped shrubs around one of the factories.
It stopped and started to sniff the air as I moved in closer. When you think of wild animals like foxes you might expect to find them in a field out in the country but they've learned to adapt to more developed areas in order to survive.

How cute! Love the family and the cute little ones. Great sighting and photos.
Awwww... too cute.
So, so cute! In all the years we've lived out in the country, I've seen only one fox from afar. In books set in England, it seems there are always foxes. Not here, though.
Thanks-Glad you all liked the photos.-Nan-we have them in town but they usually keep a low profile so I don't see them often.
What wonderful pictures! I have seen a fox about 3 times in my life and never in a place to get a photo.
i hope they are okay!
Oh, my gosh!!!
Oh I love these! One of our sons and dils have a fox den in a vacant lot next to their house (in Colorado)...we watch them with binos, but have never been able to get a good picture.
Ruth & Sallie-I saw them and drove back to my house to get the camera.When I returned the foxes were still there but a man on a motorcycle stopped near them to get a photo with his cell phone and it started to scare them away. He suggested I go around the block and try again and that he would take off. When I came back they had returned to the same area.
