I'll take the easy road . . . .

I have an uncle in Wyoming who sent this picture out to the family yesterday, and I wanted to share it. My uncle was plowing the snow on a road near Jackson Lake when he spotted this red fox with an American coot in its mouth trotting down the plowed area. He seemed to pay no attention to my uncle until he tried to get more pictures, and then the fox jumped into the snow.

Once my uncle passed by where the fox had left the road, he looked in his rearview mirror and the fox popped back onto the nicely paved asphalt and continued on his way. Guess after chasing down and nabbing a coot, this ol' fox wanted to take the easy road!

Thanks for the picture Charlie!
