16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
A young fox with mange in our backyard
While I was taking bird photos out my bedroom window this fox appeared in our backyard. It was obviously covered in mange and moving slow. While I was taking pictures, it heard the camera shutter and suddenly looked right at me. Its eyes showed its suffering but also the soul of a fighter. I’ll never know what happened to this little fox but I hope it survived.
