Taken in my Lakewood backyard. It was feeding on the lawn. I got the image lying down on my living room floor with the camera and lens pointed out the patio door. The rabbit, which was about ten feet away, didn’t seem to mind my presence as it fed.

There is a greenway of about 15 acres near our home, and my wife spotted two foxes out there. I went over with my 100-400 mm lens and started stalking them. In the spring, there was a den with four kits, and I had tried to capture them, but was not able to see them while I had my good camera with me. I believe this one was one of the four kits. She looks young!! Photographer: Cliff DeJong

According to a Greenwood Village webpage, the fox is generally active at night. However, During the winter months, they may forage for food during the day because of the difficulty in finding an adequate food source.
This beautiful—rusty-red, cream, and black—creature cleared my six-foot fence somehow, and trotted through my backyard during a snowy February afternoon.

Bison or buffalo, that are genetically close to the wild ones that roamed North America before Europeans invaded the continent, now live in the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge. The Refuge, about 8 miles from downtown Denver, consists of nearly 16,000 acres of excellent prairie habitat surrounded by residential areas that are increasingly dense.
