a crappie in the brush pile
a minnow eating nearby
the crappie slips up, stalking the prey item very slowly using its camo and the cover to close in ,
the baitfish is just happily eating and then ....
K A B OOO M .....
this image is off one of our trail cams at our place out in the country and illustrates the same scenario on dry land , the cat is much like the crappie and the squirrel is the baitfish .....
the camera was only quick enough to capture this one image , but it looks pretty clear to me that we are minus one fat fox squirrel on our place as I type this ....
