From time to time your presented with other options while out-n-about. Recently while out owling I stumbled across the opportunity which turned out to be a very cooperative Red Fox plus a perched Gray just a short distance beyond the fox.
Thinking that the owl would hang around but the fox may bolt at any moment…so the choice was quickly made as to focus on the fox.
This was a photographers nightmare with a lot of vegetation in the foreground with no clean shot unless I got out of the truck. It was a fifty fifty chance the fox would bolt and I would end up with the South End of a North bound critter.
Even by getting out of the truck the foliage still presented a problem. Bottom line…I was able to spend some time with the fox then moved on to the Gray Owl that had been sitting patiently waiting for me.
