While repeating my earlier caveat of not being an accomplished wildlife photographer, the kind and gracious comments received about my bear pix (thank you all) have encouraged me to post a few more of a different subject. This is a young female bobcat that visited my house regularly over a couple of weeks last winter. I watched her stalk and kill several squirrels (we still have plenty left), quite something to see. I believe the bobcat had a nest of kits nearby, as she would always come from the same direction and trot back that way with the deceased squirrel in her mouth. It is rare to see a bobcat under any conditions, certainly more so in daylight. I attribute this to her being quite young, having kits, and also having easy access to stupid squirrels. Or maybe because of my alma mater's mascot, a bobcat. The first two pics were taken through double-pane windows, turned out better than I would have expected. The last two were taken on a sunny afternoon when I took my dogs out for their daily play session. The dogs took off at a run, I saw a furry flash, and realized the cat had been squirreling again and I didn't know she was there. She escaped my ferocious (!) Labradors by rocketing up a tree, and kindly posed for me until my arms got tired. I took the dogs in the house and she soon made her way down the tree. Haven't seen her since. All photos Nikon 200-500, D750.
