Late Autumn Nature in New Jersey.

While driving home from the grocery store I spotted a red fox at the side of the road helping itself to a venison meal (road kill). I was lucky to have a camera with a telephoto lens in the car with me to capture this shot. There were several turkey vultures wait their turn.  It is good to see the foxes returning, as they were almost completely killed off by rabies twenty years ago (along with the raccoon, opossum, and skunk).
