Fox

While kayaking at the lake, I followed the "sound" of this guy for several hundred feet, in the brush, but he refused to show himself. Finally, I caught a very brief view of him. They're very shy during the daylight. -Kurt Horsley

That is a very cool shot Kurt! It gives the feeling that this is a wary animal...as it is totally zeroed in on you. What a face.

What a great shot, Kurt! Kayaking must be a wonderful way to view wildlife.

Thanks guys,
I've found the kayak to be the most powerful photographic tool since the camera itself. It allowed me to follow the fox in total silence and therefore get close enough to get a shot. It would never have happened if I were on the land. It's amazing how close you can get in the kayak. It's almost as if the animals are blind to it, as they often are to automobiles. Of course, getting a sharp shot that's in focus is difficult in a moving boat. -Kurt Horsley
