Description
Driving, on my way home from work, I managed to see this fox hunting and catching her prey. She jumped up and pounced into the ground with her back legs and tail in the air. Then came up with her meal. I was driving so it took some time to stop and get the camera out, and snap a shot or 2. I believe it's the same fox I saw last week on my way to work.
