The day after I posted “A Red Fox in Late Winter”, the neighborhood Red Fox burst onto the scene again. It seemed to appear out of nowhere, chasing squirrels that were feasting on birdseed.
This sequence of images begins immediately after the fox jumped high in the air, trying to nab a squirrel as it raced up a wooden light pole. Another squirrel catches its eye, it gives chase again, misses again, then investigates brush piles and moves on.

Hi there. I always assume I’ve done something right when I receive one of your responses in caps. 🙂 Thanks!!!
I was going to tell you which is my favourite – then I couldn’t decide. This is a wonderful sequence of photographs, Nick.
Thanks Anne. I also struggled a bit with the selection process, so I just put the whole sequence in my post!
Amazing sequence of photos. Thank you for your photos that always brighten my day.
Always good to hear from you Judith. Your comments are motivating. Thanks!
You’ve truly outdone yourself with this set! It’s simply marvelous. Though I’m a bit glad the squirrels got away, but I wouldn’t want that gorgeous fox going hungry either. What a beauty.
Thanks Gunta! The winter season, esp. late winter, can be difficult, but experiences like this keep me moving and upbeat. Our snow cover is below normal – just a few inches on the ground now – which means the canids should be able to find their bread and butter prey – mice and voles.
I love sequences like this. It evokes the movement and hunting skill of the fox. The snow makes a wonderful background… with a bit of sparkle no less! Nicely done, Nick.
Stunning pictures, I really like the 2 with its paw up in the air while it is running the snow has a nice yellow and blue glow.
He/she IS gorgeous, and the snow provides an amazing backdrop. Good for you for getting to observe and photograph him/her. Thank you for sharing.
Outstanding – viewing your photos is like receiving a gift every day
Hi Sue — a belated Thank You!!! Made my day. 🙂
What a beauty. Stunning animal. 🙂
Appreciate the thought. I’d love to have more opportunities and complete the story with pups at a den. I just saw it this morning, carrying food, so I’m optimistic!
