Fox Hunt!
With a Coot I think, based on the feet.

Jon,
Great capture! How do you come across so many of these foxes? :) I just saw one the other night, but capturing a glimpse of them is rare.

What's a Coot? (-:

Never mind. My Google works the same as your Google (as one of my daughter's friends would say). www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/American_coot/id

Some win some lose.... it is tough to see. Sometimes I wish there were other ways to stay alive, like some sort of delicious blue goo that drops from heaven, enjoys being eaten and feeds us all. Oh well ...

I thought coot from my first view so I think you are right. I love how the fox is strutting along and the diagonal of the ground.
makeupanid (29 months ago | reply)
me too- I was thinking that could only be Coots Feet! what a great capture!
rivadock4 (29 months ago | reply)
Nice pred-prey shot.
It is interesting that the fox I've seen will trot along with their eyes almost squinted shut.

Alexander Yates (29 months ago | reply)
wow. 2/3 of a coot, rather. How do you find this stuff?
gmr2048 (29 months ago | reply)
Yum! Crunchy and delicious!
Hard-Rain (29 months ago | reply)
Excellent! Those coots seem to be a good food source for lots of predators.

Brilliant as usual. We had a fox in our garden a while ago but he was much fatter than this one.

Great shot, Jon. Looks like those huge feet are no match for a hungry fox.
