Intensity

Hey everyone! Another fox image we captured last week. We were spending some time in Waterton looking for this fox. After spotting him, we got to hang out with him for quite a while! Being a Waterton fox (hanging around in the campground) he is really used to people driving around. The problem occurs, however, when you try to get OUT and get a lower angle on him . As is the problem with most other wildlife .

This image was taken near the end of our time with him. He had actually just gotten a meal, and after eating it went straight back to hunting. He was walking along when all the sudden he stopped! He pricked his ears forward and started to stalk his prey. We watched to see if he would pounce, but sadly he didn't. On that ocassion he didn't get the meal he was after .

Thanks for looking...more fox images to come !
