Vulpes vulpes fulva, or the American red fox to be specific, padding around in the forest and being all photogenic.

This one may have been after the ducks floating in the pond nearby but certainly in vain. The ducks were having absolutely none of it; they wouldn’t even quit swimming away from me and my camera so there’s no chance they didn’t see Basil here coming from a mile off.

This is at absolute maximum 400mm zoom for me. Foxy might have been mostly interested in ducks, but he or possibly she was on to us certainly wasn’t coming any closer despite having no qualms about crossing over the footpath in broad daylight. Canon R10, ƒ/8, 1/400, ISO 640, 400mm.

    I’ve seen bold urban foxes but woodland foxes rarely even put themselves in a position to be seen. Usually just a tail running away.

    They’re super bold at Ocean City, Maryland out on the beach/boardwalk.
