The Fox on Moose Wilson Road

Pulled into the first turnout on Moose Wilson Road. Looking for moose, maybe an owl working the pond below. Standard morning.

Something moved behind me. Turned around and there was a red fox, maybe fifteen feet back, just standing there like he’d been watching for a while. Startled me more than I’d like to admit.

Got the camera up fast. He didn’t care. Walked past at his own pace, nose down, working some scent trail in the snow. 

One decent shot before he crested the hill and was gone.

Never did see the moose.
