Margaret Lindgren noticed this Bobcat looking at her on The Sea Ranch recently.

The Sea Ranch has a lot of open space, much of it meadows. And it seems like these meadows have an inexhaustible amount of gophers. Bobcats LOVE gophers so if you are lucky you might see one hunting rodents in the middle of the day. That's what happened to Margaret.

Thanks to Margaret for allowing me to share her photo with you here. To learn more about Margaret's Mendonoma hiking tours, here is her website: www.unbeatenpath.weebly.com

Bobcats are being seen more frequently the past couple of weeks. It appears the mothers are hunting for "real" food for their kittens. Janet Burch recently photographed one on The Sea Ranch.

You can see the Bobcat is looking right at Janet and her camera. This cat with the tufted ears and bobbed tail is a year round resident of the Mendonoma Coast. Look for them in grassy meadows hunting for their favorite food - gophers!

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