Lynxes and Bobcats

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.
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!

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.
I had an awesome bobcat sighting yesterday. This bobcat was out hunting and caught a shrew. It played with the shrew by throwing it up in the air and batting it with its paws. It then rolled around in the grass with the shrew before eating it. Such an entertaining sighting. I have pics of the action, but I need to photoshop them a bit because it was in the distance!
I came across this very young Bobcat the other day while I was driving. I thought it was a house cat at a quick glance because it was so small. A first juvenile for me which was exciting. This was taken during the last hour of light. Click for large view,
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.
For years and years, I've looked for the opportunity to observe and photograph bobcats. My running joke was that there were no bobcats in Florida, notwithstanding all the wonderful photographs of them other photographers were publishing. Well, not for lack of putting in some serious hours, I have some bobcat shots. This morning, mom brought her kittens out to presumably go on a hunt with her. That was at about 7:45am. Then they were gone. After spending several hours in the morning hoping for their return, I came back in the afternoon with hopes of a homecoming. It was not to be. Not complaining, I'm happy to finally have had the opportunity I've been striving for. No anticlimax this.

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.
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
Early yesterday - very early in the morning I was so lucky to see this large Bobcat. He was very self assured and walked casually away from me with his tail flicking. Once he disappeared into the foliage I never saw him again.
It was exactly a year ago today that I had my first sighting of a wild bobcat. We spotted this bobcat in a cemetery and it came out about a half hour before sunset. My husband and I watched it try to hunt a squirrel. You can see it licking its chops in this picture :-)!
Finally saw the Bobcat in person.
Made my day! He/She roams Circle B Bar Reserve, and today was my first encounter. It was tough to get a good photo, cause I was pretty excited.
You know when you see something in the distance that usually turns out to be a log shaped like an animal sitting...well, I'm sure glad I checked out this "log" with my lens. Now my brain will continue to mislead me into thinking I see Bobcats, but that's okay.
