One of the fox dens that I have cameras at has seen some great action lately. This camera is in Sterling, Va and is pointed at one of the openings of the den.
This den is a big one. It contains a whole network of underground tunnels and 5 holes for entering and leaving.
There are fox kits in the area already, but I am unsure if this den houses any kits yet. I have not seem them coming in or out of this den yet.
There have been many visitors to the den however, and excitement for more foxes continues.

| A raccoon sniffs the area. Raccoons also sniff and look around the den site during a few nights. |

| Squirrel! A fox could easily jump out at any minute and try to take the squirrel. |

| A pair of foxes. It may be hard to tell that there are two right next to each other, but they are both there. |

Very cool sequence of pictures. I had a camera on an active den with 3 kits one spring. It was awesome.
