Bobcat, Point Reyes National Seashore
I saw this bobcat a few days ago in Point Reyes National Seashore. I had previously seen him a couple of times in March. I named him “Handsome Bob” then because he had very distinctive spots and stripes. When I saw him the other day he had no problem with my car stopping. I was there maybe 10 minutes when another photographer parked. Bob was still unconcerned. About 5 minute later a third car stopped. That was his limit. Bob went from being relaxed to tense and then did a quick disappearing act. I’m now thinking of him also as “Three Car Bob.” In this photo Handsome Bob has his rump on a rodent mound and his legs in the burrow.
That really is a handsome cat! And lol to the Three Car Bob name, that’s hilarious!
Thanks Pat. It’s getting harder to find bobcats and coyotes lately. One of each yesterday. I guess they’re more nocturnal now with the longer days and warmer weather.
Like Pat said! Funny. It can be awfully hard to get a bobcat all to yourself these days!
You’re right John. It’s a bit easier on weekdays.
Great picture and I love the “3 Car Bob” name as well!
Thanks Alan.
