Yard Bobcat

Yard Bobcat (lynx rufus)

We have a Bobcat that likes to come in to the birdbath in the evening. Usually he comes in when it is so dark we can barely see him. Yesterday I just happened to be at the picture window opposite the birdbath while it was still light (not great for photos as the window faces due west and the sun was in a bad position. He stayed for at least 5 minutes so I was able to see and get a few photos of him.

Oh wow Lisa! How cool is this! I think it is a great image.

I had one in the yard several years ago but haven't seen once since.

That's a wonderful shot Lisa - I actually like the way he is lit.

How's it feel to be a lady of leisure now then?;):-O

Not sure yet, Delia. I'm used to being off in the summer for a few weeks. I think it will hit me in late July when teachers head back to school.
