I like 3 the most.
Agree - the only one where I got a bit of eye glint. Thanks for looking and commenting!

Was on my Son's deck simultaneously enjoying the magnificent view and an excellent IPA when the neighborhood Fox flashed by below. Dashed in and dug out the D7200 with 200-500 1:5.6 on. Got one photo with a dirty look as Fox headed up hill - went out the front and managed to catch him in the driveway.

Nice quixdraw, I haven't seen a fox in years.
Thanks! I see them on rare occasions but usually to far and too briefly to get a photo. This Neighborhood Fox isn't particularly shy.

Nice catch, goes to show how kicking back and enjoying a cold one is so worth it!

Good reflexes and set, QD. And after an IPA.
Thanks! Let's just say, I'm accustomed to IPA and its effects, or maybe inured is a better word choice!

Nice fox! We're in Jackson Hole and not five minutes after landing in our present digs, my wife pointed out a beautiful silver fox with a magnificent bushy tail out our back window. I looked while I sat and watched and waited. However as soon as the thought crossed my mind to grab my camera, the little critter read my mind and high-tailed it. I was lamenting my lost opportunity while unpacking and my wife hollered again and I looked up in time to see a very large bull moose--all black--ambling within 15 feet of our back patio. I grabbed my camera and went out just in time to catch a few shoots from the south of a north bound moose with my 18-400mm Tamron lens at 400mm. Again, I was lamenting the fact that I was not sitting outside the back door when the moose first came around the corner. Today, I read about a gentleman who was injured by a moose (it's mating season) in my very neighborhood. Maybe it's better that I was unpacking rather than taking my ease on the patio.

Thanks very much! When I travel, I have a camera in my hand. At home there are always a couple deployed on my desk to grab and go. As a practice I do not go close to wild animals. Often what you get is a combination of staying alert with gear handy, and a bit of luck. I just forget the ones I miss and look forward to whatever opportunity comes next!
