Bobcat, Point Reyes National Seashore
A bobcat takes a rest in a field. I’ve been seeing a lot of bobcats and coyotes at Point Reyes lately. I saw a bobcat and three coyotes last Friday. I saw this guy the previous visit. Don’t recall what else I saw that day, but I have photos of a coyote from then. I often see things, but don’t get a chance to photograph the animal so what I’ve photographed isn’t a good record of what I saw on any given day. When I started going out to Point Reyes somewhat regularly beginning last summer I didn’t see as many bobcats or coyotes as I’m seeing now. I don’t know if it’s luck lately or that I’m getting better at spotting them. Probably both, but with emphasis on the luck side of the equation.
Beautiful photo, Jim! I love the colors and nice lighting… I would love to see a Bobcat out in the wild like this…
Thank you Michele. Point Reyes is a good place to see them.
Another great shot! I really enjoy coming to your blog to see the latest of your captures. We saw a bobcat cross the road two days ago here in North Texas…. They are doing a good job here on the edges of suburbia as the top predator of the smaller mammals.
I enjoy your blog & have added you to my blog roll so others can see your fine work.
Thank you John. Glad to hear bobcats are doing well in Texas.
That’s a great profile of the cat, Jim. He never looked so much like his African kin than in this fine shot.
Thanks John. It’s nice having a green background for a change instead of the straw-colored backgrounds I’ve had before with bobcats.
