San Juan Foxes


In the 1930 rabbits were introduced to San Juan Island and proliferate wildly. In order to reduce the rabbit numbers foxes were brought in and their population too grew to considerable numbers.

In early May the fox kids come out of their dens. They are not very shy which makes for fantastic photo opportunities. At times we saw more than a dozen little foxes play and chase each other. Extremely cute!
