Fox in the Grass

I was at our barn this afternoon preparing to do some garden clean-up when I saw a young red fox walk into the field below the garden and bed down in the grass.

The fox bedded down about 70 yards away and I decided to see how close I could get for a photo.

The sound of the brisk wind blowing through the grass may have concealed my approach and I was able to get within 15 feet of the young fox.

It was a quick getaway by the young fox once I was detected.
