USE OF REMOTE INFRARED CAMERA’S TO SURVEY FOR KIT FOX (VULPES MACROTIS) IN THE GRAND VALLEY, COLORADO. Research Permit and Reporting System
This study utilized remote infrared cameras to survey kit fox in the Grand Valley. Cameras identified 20 species. No kit foxes were photographed during this effort but interspecific competitors such as gray and red foxes, coyotes and domestic dogs were prevalent. Interspecific competition may be suppressing existing kit fox populations. Techniques used in this study may not be able to detect low populations if they do exist, making follow up investigations on all future reports important.
