Pics of a momma fox and 1 of her 7 babies.
Fox and babies live under a neighbours backyard shed. Baby seen here in one of the photo' stealing my dog's toy. Practicing for catching squirrels I would guess.
We used to have 8 bunnies living under our shed....have not seen them in a while...coincidence? I think not...

Photos are blurry (my son just grapped a camera from the study and snapped the photos while I was at work....doesnt know my camera settings and left
it on manual....not much chance he would have noticed BBF with an off-ctr continuous AF focus point :-)

I will hopefully get a chance to get some "good pics" of the momma and baby(s) this coming weekend before the babies get their red fur.

There are times when content aces quality. I think this is one of them. They are cute little guys to be sure. At least he knew how to get the camera to record an image. He did well.

Great shots, not too easy to get close enough to shoot a fox without spooking them.

Agreed. He said he couldnt see the AF point as the camera was in continuous AF (af pt doesnt light up) so he just fired away. We both agreed a blurry shot was better than a story about the one that got away :-)

He will learn, but he did capture the moment. #2 is way cute.

If my neighbors had a fox family living nearby, I know I wouldn't be able to get anything done because I would be watching for the foxes.
Glad your son caught them.

I think he did a fine job for a quick catch. I should be that lucky.

My wife sees the adult fox everyday. Driving me crazy not being able to catch it. I have my 5dmkiv and the 150-600 sitting near the window and every time, he is gone before I can grab it.

Having a Moby Dick experience...
