Juvenile Bobcat

Managed to get back to the headlands again last night for some night shots of the bridge and ran across this little guy.
The sun had already set and it was getting dark pretty fast. I grabbed the camera and tripod and began sneaking up on this large cat when I noticed it seemed to be quite a bit smaller than the other Bobcat's I have seen in the area.
It hit me that this was a juvenile. Within moments, mama was making some very not so happy noises from the edge of the woods. I quickly realized that walking up to a juvenile was probably not in my best interest.
I stood my ground, snapped half a dozen pics before the little guy made his way back to the woods to join the much larger cat making all the ruckus.

Nice job on spotting him and staying away from the mom!
The pictures look like might be able to be improved with a bit more contrast.
