Like all of America, I'm doing my best to stop the spread of Corona Virus by staying home and keeping up with the social distancing requirements. I generally work from home anyway, so that part is easy for me. Connie and I are set up in different parts of the house to work (somehow, she got the sunroom). We still get outside every day to walk Peanut. We are going to Pennypack and Lorimer parks which is really nice. Lorimer Park butts up against Fox Chase Farm which has big open cow pastures and a beautiful view.
The other day, I noticed a fox one of the cow pastures at Fox Chase Farm. And, as the name suggests, I watched her as she stalked and chased her prey. She would sit very still with laser focus on the grass in front of her.

Then, she would leap into the air and come down hard hoping to pin the prey.

| The Pounce! |
She did this several times. Stare. Pounce. Stare. Pounce.
And finally, one last pounce lunging directly away from my camera lens . . .
Victory! A rodent of some sort to bring back to her kits. She looked directly at me as if to say "Got it!"

She trotted off through the field. What a way to spend 15 minutes before going back to the reality of our pandemic situation.

Angie and I enjoyed your photos and commentary. She wants me to add, the fox acted just like Monty :-)
Great pictures. Thanks for sharing!
