Lynxes and Bobcats
View allAll Photos Tagged Bobcat
We made a quick trip to Rocky Mountain National Park the past couple of days. Just before sunset on our first day we spotted this bobcat. This was a first for me.
Been awhile since I've seen the Bobcats, but finally saw one yesterday and took several shots of him. I spent a bit of time one on one then left for an hour and returned. He was still in the general area looking for prey. I had other obligations and had to leave. He tried a few times to grab prey but was unsuccessful. Next time! Click for large view.
This is a "trained" Bobcat which I photographed at the Triple D Game farm in Kalispell, Montana. Although it looks a bit like a studio shot it was just up against a very cold snow bank.
As Rene and I were looking for a place to set up for sunset shots I glanced to my right and saw a Bobcat! I hurried and swung my camera and shot out the window. Didn't even pay attention to my settings so was glad I could adjust the lighting to show this beauty off!
The bobcat came out of the marsh and trotting down the path. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I kneeled down to get to eye level and stayed on the shutter button. It was my second similar experience and just as exciting as the first!

Shot while laying on the ground at 13.5 meters. She kept coming to under min. focus distance then within 5-6 foot away. This cat isn't shy. Take a look at the little kitty big right here.
Poor mom! I wanted to get closer but I did not want to disturb what was going on here. Such a treat to watch!
Thanks so much for the visit!

Have a great weekend!
I imagine this mother Bobcat hit the water to capture this large Iguana. Here she is pausing on her walk back to the family.
The little one was trying to get mom to play. This is another family from the pix I posted earlier. I'm so blessed to see both families.
Just got lucky this morning.. It happened pretty fast..I had just walked into the entrance and was looking for warblers. I noticed something looked different in the big tree behind the firebush on the right...two bobcats were laying on a limb.. I quickly tried to focus and realized my settings were all wrong. They were getting up...I made a few changes and starting clicking away. They climbed down the tree and went back into the woods. Thanks for stopping by.
My photography success has been lacking in recent months, but was lucky to photograph not one, but two bobcats over the weekend in New Hampshire.

I was photgraphing a Hawk perched in a tree above when this Bobcat ran right in front of me. It paused for a few moments before entering the tall grass in pursuit of a rabbit. A few minutes later, the rabbit came out and the Bobcat remerged even closer to me. By the time I switched back from the Hawk to the Bobcat, I only photographed the back of its head that second time around.
I traveled all the way from Florida to California in a failed attempt to photograph Bobcats. We, of course, have them in Florida. Recently, a family of Bobcats has taken up residence at a local wildlife refuge, and as such, is more tolerant of humans than would otherwise be the case. I only had a few days to try to get some images any only got lucky twice on several attempts. This one's my favorite.
Had such close encounters with several bobcats last time in northern California...shortly after i took this shot this bobcat went to sleep just in front of me...
A female bobcat on an early morning stroll! Such beautiful creatures, never get tired of seeing them…Northern California
I couldn't believe my luck when this cat decided to climb up this small snag and sit for a better view of the area. Amazingly some of the afternoon light was still shining through the trees and lit up this beauty for a few moments.
Looks like this male bobcat has a bad temper but it was just facing the heavy winds that evening… Northern California
The more I looked at the image I posted of the Bobcat with the Iguana the more I wanted to present a different look. I wanted to keep all of the Iguana's body and claws but after further reflection felt that they distracted from the eyes of the creatures, my favorite part of the image. So here's a more closely cropped version, sans claws but to me more intimate and compelling.
One of these magic encounters with a female bobcat at dusk. Just heard the news that Point Reyes NPS decided to continue with their plan to extend ranching and industrial agriculture inside the park and therefore is going to kill hundreds of native tule elk! The effects on all other wildlife will be terrible!!! Hope that there is still a chance of protecting this unique place…KEEP POINT REYES WILD
