A RED EYE FLIGHT AND A FOX | A midnight flight approaches Tucson International Airport as a gray fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) gnaws on a carrion high in a canopy of an ironwood tree in a desert below. In areas with numerous coyotes, grey foxes and pumas store their freshly killed prey high in the canopy of a few tall ironwood trees in the area.
The photo is taken on a full moon night, with 8 sec exposure (witness 8 blinkers of a plane above).
