It's been months since I've seen a bobcat so it was pretty exciting to catch a glimpse of one under our porch recently.
When he emerged from his shelter, he had his eyes on something of extreme interest.
Almost immediately, I heard the alarm call of a squirrel in the overhead tree.
In response, this squirrel who was headed for the bobcat changed his route and leapt into the tree.
The bobcat spotted my curious eyes. The chance encounter only lasted a few minutes. Off he went to new hunting grounds. The Steller's Jays started their alarm calls as he departed. It's not easy for a bobcat to sneak around with the sentries of the forest on duty.
