The first walked right by me in the sunlight, but I couldn't turn in my chair to get the shot. The 2nd one saw me and stood in the shade for a moment. The settings were set for birds in the sunlight, so I had to lighten this one some. Not a great shot, but cool to catch a sly fox in the woods.

No chance of me seeing a fox when I'm out bird shooting !! Nice 'fox' (Oops, I mean, 'fix') on the exposure too. Matt. Thanks Matt....I've seen them 3 times in this area. One time the fox layed down behind me about 70 feet away and just watched the bird action on the water hole. sparker1 wrote in post #8776352 What good fortune, Steve, and a good shot. I've never seen a gray, beautiful animal. Thanks stan, I see them at night when driving the bus, and sometimes in the day. Still waiting for one to drink from the water right in front of me! Steve

I wasn't aware that we had Grey Fox out here in the west. Good to know they're around. Are they as common as Red Fox in your area? "Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
