After clearing the tree line the fox continued moving somewhat closer…stopping after every few steps it became apparent the fox was searching for a vole beneath the snow.
With each step bringing it closer…it was hard to believe what was taking place.
I just happened to be in the right place at the right time…and took full advantage of this encounter.

Thought I caught some movement out of the corner of my eye while watching a Hawk Owl…but wasn’t sure.
Second glance and it appeared my thought was a reality…a fox on the prowl was just making its way out of the tree line.

Watching the Hawk Owl was quickly put on hold with the focus now on the fox.
Which just goes to show you…always expect the unexpected when dealing with Mother Nature.
