Is a lip smacking feast awaiting this red fox? We caught a brief glimpse of this red fox through the car window while on a quiet country road and it sure looked like they were onto a meal. Before we could see the scene play out the fox moved into the woods and was lost from sight. A brief yet gratifying experience and a tale yet to be told.
nature has no boss 
OR…….maybe he just finished off a tasty little mouse meal! Nice photo capture!

Very nice shot. I like the angle. It seems unique, at lest to me, for a wildlife shot and very interesting.

Now see, if I had seen this fox, and actually had my camera handy, all I would have gotten would be an excited blur, and you got this fabulous shot! Very nice. I was just reading an article about foxes, and how there are really far more of them living in urban areas than we suspect. I’m glad about that, but there is nothing like a fox in his wild habitat, is there?

HI Melissa, we do see foxes here in Denver every once in awhile. My fondest memory of a city fox was while out one evening on a run around the local lake. The fox was sneaking away with a nice large goose in their mouth. Quite a meal.

Awesome! I wish someone would start eating all the Canada Geese we have accumulating around here!

We do need more predators roaming the streets for sure and around here we need them to control the squirrels.

Have you been over-run by grey squirrels? 20 years ago we had both red and grey squirrels in this area, but over time the grey squirrels totally dominated which strikes me as odd because their biology is different. Not enough, perhaps.

Well in my estimate we only have brown or grey squirrels and sometimes you will see 5-6 running around in a single tree.

Amazing photo. I wonder if he was thinking of dinner!

Hi Miriam, I do think dinner was on his mind or at least a late afternoon snack as she was intently searching the sagebrush for mice.

Hi Anne, we were luck for sure and this fox kept going in and out of view behind the sage brush as well.
