Mark Simkins watched as a Doe with her yearling were being stalked by a Bobcat. The Doe was protecting her young one and chased the Bobcat off.
Here the Bobcat looks back at the mother deer.
The cat with the tufted ears must be thinking, "She's way too mean. I better look for a fat gopher for my meal."
Thanks to Mark for allowing me to share his photos with you here.
Jon Loveless caught this Bobcat obviously soaking up some rays.
Bobcats can be seen in grassy meadows where they hunt for gophers. They are often seen in the daylight here on the Mendonoma Coast.
Thanks to Jon for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
John Batchelder had this beautiful, healthy Bobcat pose for him recently.
Bobcats have been hunted for their beautiful pelts. I'm glad to say that is no longer legal in California.
Thanks to John for allowing me to share his photo with you here. Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate this holiday!
Steve Coffey-Smith saw this Bobcat nearly hidden in the grasses. Perhaps it was just resting, enjoying the autumn sun.
Bobcats are great rodent hunters, and grassy meadows like the one seen here usually have plenty of tasty gophers.
Thanks to Steve for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
Carolyn André and Barry Richman were honored with a visit from a Bobcat. Carolyn got several photos of the handsome animal.
I wondered if Bobcat's were all marked alike and discovered each one is unique! Just like a human's fingerprints, each Bobcat has different markings.
Bobcats are named because of their short "bobbed" tails. One thing they all have in common after the age of eight weeks is the white patch on the back of their ears.
The Bobcat headed off to hunt for its favorite meal - gophers.
Thanks to Carolyn for allowing me to share her photos with you here.
