    Dan, these are superb! I have tried for years to get a photo of a bobcat, with no luck so far! I love the third photo the best, but all are terrific! How close were you--how did you not alarm them? And Congratulations! Best, Pam

    I can't choose between the first and third. Love them both!
    And I am -so- moving into your back yard. Even if it's in the wrong hemisphere, and I have not the foggiest idea of where it might be. ;)

    Lucky you. Must be quite a thrill to find such a kitty in your tree out in the backyard. Nice captures Dan.

    Niceeeeeeeeee

    I have a Mom and two young ones across the lake. Just moved here,but they have not shown to me.
    Yesterday morning (I missed this) about 6:30 am the Mom got up on a fishermans truck and would not let him near it.
    So gave up the fish and escaped..lol
    Neighbor lady saw this.
    Guess I need to get out earlier
    Best Regards

    Terrific shots of some beautiful animals. Nice work, Dan.

    Unlike others, though, I'm not really keen on having predatory cats in my back yard. I'll stick to looking at your photos; it's much safer.
