Meet Bob and Cat
Several Steller’s Jays screaming their most aggressive intruder calls alerted me to these two young bobcats hanging about in the trees around my house. Despite the storm of jays and my rapidly firing camera shutter, their patterns, tufted ears, clear eyes, calm demeanor, and poise led me to fall in love.

Where’s mom and dad?
I’m sure dad is long gone. Mom was probably hunting or starting the process of teaching these two how to hunt. I doubt she was far.
Love your pictures as well as your perfectly chosen words to describe this special moment. Thanks!
Thank you, Sibylle! It was a special moment – this is only the second time in all these years that I saw a bobcat and to get two youngsters, wow!
