Avon Calling

Spotted this Fox at the Red Rock Lakes Wildlife preserve in Montana. Appears to be a bit of an opportunist as he spent considerable time at this Bluebird house obviously working to catch an inhabitant exiting the place. Several adult birds raised a ruckus and dive bombed him to no avail, but he also finallly left . . . empty mouthed.

Canon EOS-7D, Canon 100-400 f4.5-5.6 L IS, 37m 1/50 f/7.1SO 25 Processed in Lightroom 3.3.

I must say, I don't quite understand why you don't make more comments. I, for one, will not comment on your photos until you start contributing comment to others.

Excellent and funny title. Maybe a little more detail on paws?
