Fox Kits FINALLY!
Seems like I must be the last person on earth to find fox kits...and that is owed to Bob Karcz (thanks Bob), for inviting me up to Summit county to photograph a variety of subjects including Osprey and a nesting Bald Eagle pair. Bob is a class act (despite what both Dave and Rod say about him :biggrin: ). Anyhow, I am soooo behind on processing images. I also have several hundred images to go through from anouther couple days at Pawnee Butte. Took the week off work and got back all my gear from Canon!!

I probably have better images, but have well over 1,000 images, very tired, so will post others later once I am rejuvenated. Thanks for looking!

One of the Osprey shots

One of the Balds...they were far off, excuse the lower detail....took with a 500mm and a 2x tc with a cable release to keep everything still. Even with that, this is about 25% of full frame.

Wow--that first fox shot and the osprey are both totally killer! Keep em coming!

I got close to 1700 (yes, 1700) images of these little guys from our trip (yes, I did go a little nuts).

Great images! Really like that first one and the osprey image is really nice!

The first two are just precious. The Osprey is grand. Wait, Grand Ole Osprey. :biggrin: Seriously it is a dynamic shot. The eagle's attitude is just great. Seems to be saying, "I'm not a morning person." Outstanding work, Kurt.

Fantastic! Those kits are so darn cute. Both bird shots are amazing. I'm quite pleased with the detail in the eagle shot, given the stats.

BTW, you're not the last person to find/photograph fox kits. That would be me.

These are all truly excellent, Kurt!
The osprey is indeed a remarkable capture, while the rest are superb portraits of our wildlife.
I look forward to seeing many more from this outing!

Kurt- Just a great angle on the fox kit and great action on the Osprey. I'm one of those guys who hasn't found fox kits yet, so I'll take that torch. I'll find them someday.

The Osprey shot takes it for me! Spectacular timing Kurt! Uh, no Todd...the kit fox thing...me!

Wow, that Osprey shot is amazing! The foxes are too cute not to like. Nice work.

I like the first and third the most, but they are all fantastic!

All are awesome and especially #1, but the cuteness factor in #2 is great!
