Red Fox

Vulpes vulpes

One of several shots at Tuscarora, York, PA

This fox appeared suddenly in the middle of the afternoon in the yard. As luck would have it I had my camera handy and was able to shoot a few shots when she ran to the back yard. These were taken through a double-paned glass sliding door.
Later in the day she found a squirrel that my very bad dogs had killed. (I put all casualties up in the woods for the fox to eat). As it was a bitterly cold day I felt a little better about my dogs' bad behavior. At least the fox lived another day.

I love the sense of action in this shot. You captured this beautiful animal well. At least some good was derived from the death of the poor squirrel! V
