Red Fox tracking prey.

Mid-January, after a few late snowfalls, Montreal Botanical Garden is covered in snow. The Red Fox has ventured out of its den and is tracking prey, possibly a squirrel, across the frozen ponds area. It's notorious among visitors that this predator has its quarters in this location. Bordering trees allow me to be unnoticed, or is it used to human presence? I captured this shot with the Sony A7R IV and the 70-300mm tele-lens. Shutter speed 1/400sec, aperture at f/9, ISO 1250.
