small mammal predators | Nick's Nature Pics

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.
