The Mouser

Photographed by Shane Morrison

I found a red fox den by an old barn and stack of rails from an old fence. I lie on my stomach behind a woodpile for hours at a time and photograph the foxes through a slot in the wood with the camera propped on my beanbag. This day the mother caught a deer mouse and brought it back to feed its kits.
