Look at this beautiful bobcat! Drew Fagan photographed him/her outside his art studio.

This bobcat sure looks healthy.

Thanks to Drew for allowing me to share his photo with you here. To see Drew’s art, here is his website: http://drewfagan.com

Monique Cooper spotted this Bobcat hunting near her home. She wrote, “My husband, Paul, and I spotted this Bobcat at home midday. I read Bobcats are nocturnal, and it seemed odd to see it in broad daylight. We watched him/her hunt for about an hour or so. Although the hunt was unsuccessful, it was very entertaining to watch the stalking and leaping onto whatever was supposed to be a meal.”

Bobcats hunt for rodents in grassy meadows, and as I wrote in the title line, they are often seen in the daylight hours here on the coast.

Thanks to Monique for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

We are having a sunny, breezy day, washed clean from yesterday's rain.

James Adams spotted this beautiful Bobcat hunting in a meadow on The Sea Ranch.

You can see the tufted ears in James' photo. Fun fact: each Bobcat's markings are unique, just like our fingerprints.

Thanks to James for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

We are having sunny but windy weather today. The northwest wind causes upwelling in the Pacific Ocean, igniting the entire food chain.

Allen Vinson spotted this handsome bobcat recently, strolling through the grasses.

The bobcat is looking right at Allen! This looks like a big bobcat. I think it's interesting to know that the markings on each bobcat's coat is unique to itself, just like our fingerprints are to us.

Here's a photo Allen took some years ago, a favorite of mine. You can see the tufted ears quite clearly in this photo, and a douglas iris in the background.

Bobcats can be seen fairly often hunting for gophers and other tasty rodents in meadows on the Mendonoma coast.

Tom White captured a photo of a beautiful Bobcat. We think he/she is a young one, not fully grown.

Notice the marking on the bobcat's legs - they are quite distinctive. In fact, every bobcat's coat is unique to itself, just like our fingerprints are to us.

Thanks to Tom for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

Thankfully, it cooled off some today. 104 degrees yesterday seems insane for the Mendonoma coast, but that was our high. Mid 80's today.
