Fall Hunter

Fall Hunter - A male Bobcat pauses while hunting gophers in the California oak woodlands - a sight I've started to associate with the first rains and turn of seasons over the years.

 

Despite his piercing gaze, this particular individual is one of the most tolerant Bobcats I've photographed over the years. He regularly hunts by the trail and has brought his prey near me to feed on a couple occasions - perhaps to avoid the thieving Coyotes.
