Saturday morning I was treated to something I rarely get to watch. While I often see both Red and Gray Foxes (Gray frequents my feeders), it is unusual that I get a nice vantage point for watching a hunt. These canines have a particular way to capturing their prey … launch off their hind legs … leap through the air … and land with their front legs down to capture their prey.

I was quite a ways distant, but if I had been close the fox would have seen me and run into the woods.
