This is what I call a "super-duper" shot Leslie. How did you do to capture this moment so well?

Magnificent capture while in flight. Kind of funny to see their face when they fly. Great wingspand.
I know what you mean about missing a shot. Definitely would have been nice to capture an image of the baby fox.

@Barbara: Thank you for your comment Barbara, yes they have an ugly face but magnificent in flight
