Description
Hi, This morning I went out the lower field and set up waiting for the fox to show up. Well right on schedule it comes in and starts to hunt voles. I watched it as it caught this one and then it spots me and starts to move off.Now if I can just get this guy to hunt a bit later in the morning, the sun would be a bit higher up.

Hi Art, Thank you!
Yeah this one has been frequenting the lower field each morning just after sunrise. Makes for some tough shots, as it likes to hunt the shaded field edges most of the time. Today I just happened to see it in the sunlight! A 1/2 hour later, and I could be shooting ISO 400 at 1/500 min! I really don't like being under 1/500 for my pics.
I followed this one with my binoculars and I now know where it's den is! There a big pile of boulders just inside the woods on the right hand edge of this field. I watched it as it went into the den, at the base of of the pile. Now if this is a female, well maybe I can have the chance to shoot more young fox pics this spring!! Man I hope so!
