David Presotto watched this Bobcat hunting unsuccessfully for a Gopher. First comes the leap.

And then the Bobcat pounces in the Gopher hole...but to no avail.

The Bobcat looks longingly at the Gopher hole, perhaps saying, "Anybody home?"

Bobcats were thought to be nocturnal, but they are often seen in the daylight hours here on the Mendonoma Coast. Fun Fact: The markings of each Bobcat are unique, just as our fingerprints are unique.

Thanks to David for allowing me to share his photos with you here.

We are having another spectacular, sunny, warm day. It's great that we can enjoy this break because we've had so much early rain.

Drew Fagan noticed this Bobcat hunting, and he took four photos showing the hunt and the hunt's result - a Gopher, which seems to be Bobcats favorite meal on the coast.

Drew took one of my all-time favorite Bobcat photos. In fact he allowed me to share it in my book, Mendonoma Sightings Throughout the Year. Drew caught a Bobcat mid-leap, an amazing photo.
