USE OF REMOTE INFRARED CAMERA’S TO SURVEY FOR KIT FOX (VULPES MACROTIS) IN THE GRAND VALLEY, COLORADO

Duckett S and Neubaum DJ. USE OF REMOTE INFRARED CAMERA’S TO SURVEY FOR KIT FOX (VULPES MACROTIS) IN THE GRAND VALLEY, COLORADO. Research Permit and Reporting System

The study utilized remote infrared cameras to survey areas in the Grand Valley where kit foxes had previously been documented. Cameras identified 20 species from 443. No kit foxes were photographed during this effort but interspecific competitors such as gray and red foxes, coyotes and domestic dogs were prevalent. The lack of detection's using multiple techniques, urbanization, and documented presence of interspecific competitors suggest that kit fox may be extirpated from the Grand Valley.
