Years ago I saw a den, a family, of kit foxes in the desert just east of Great Basin N.P. (Nevada), but I've never seen them in Oregon. Apparently this area in SE OR is about the northern limit of their range, so they're relatively rare up this way.

Very cool.

That was pretty special Mr. BC. Thanks for posting. We could watch those little bundles of energy romp around for hours.

Wow, I had no idea that they were in Oregon. The only ones I've seen were by DV Junction, and Dungeon Canyon (Lake Powell).
