Red Fox with Tundra Swan

From http://natureandwildlifephotography.blogspot.com/2010/04/red-fox-with-tundra-swan.html

This Red Fox was working mightily to drag this Swan (I think) back to his den. It was pretty huge and the fox struggled, and took a break to catch its breath more than once.





I suspect that the fox either did the kill earlier and went back to fetch it when I found him, or he stumbled upon the bird and claimed it for himself.

Bombay Hook is very well know for Foxes, there's a lot of them there and due to human feedings (a crime) they are not fearful and usually don't run away from people/photographers. On more than one occassion I've felt that a fox was coming too close and had to get them to back off a little.
