So cool. I wouldn't have expected to find a bobcat up a telephone pole.

Thanks! In the 6 years I've lived in this house I have never seen a bobcat on a telephone pole.

Actually, my next door neighbor came over to tell me. I grabbed the camera and stuck the longest thing I have on it. She stayed up there for a good 45 minutes. Didn't see her come down though.

Thank you Ric

Dan,

I've gone all afternoon and tried not to say it, but I can't hold it in any longer.

You have shot an excellent metaphor for a polecat.

...as stated before. Outstanding shot.

Im guessing about 50 ft. high and about 45 yards away.

Me neither, but now I keep looking hoping she will do it again.

Rhuarc · February 16, 2009

Wow! that is awesome!

I love the big cat family! Although I heard a story about a hunter in Colorado who was asked what the one thing he would be afraid to meet in the woods. He said a cougar. When asked why, he said because my 10 pound house cat can shred me if he wants to. I would hate to meet something twenty times it's size!

Again, love the shot!

kdog · February 16, 2009

That is just gorgeous, Dan.

What incredible luck. You should have called the fire department and told them your kitty was stuck on the pole, and then seen their reaction.

Cheers,

Great capture Dan!

And to think some folks get upset if a raptor hangs out in their neighborhood.

Hmmmmm ....... Does anyone else find this image similar to Harry's "Bird on a Stick"?

stevehapp · February 17, 2009

awesome..

the question is... how did he get up there??

Roaddog 52 · February 17, 2009

That is a great capture, great color and detail.

I've seen bobcats in tress occasionally, but never sitting so blatantly in the open.

Designsmith · February 17, 2009

Great shot with good color and clarity.

I went looking for info relating to a lynx/bobcat question and found the following link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobcat Scroll down to the section on "Distribution and habitat" and notice the photo that accompanies the text. Funny shot. Especially considering the heading.

jeffmeyers · February 17, 2009

Oh man, what a great shot. These guys are all around Missouri, but you almost NEVER see them. Too cool!

I guess it is not too uncommon, but my shot is better

Thanks,

That is a great picture. Would have never known they do things like that. This is a case were getting wildlife in an urban setting adds to the pic!
