Niki Ward and a Bobcat exchange glances.

Niki Ward almost missed seeing this Bobcat, as it blended with the wooden fence so well. But she did notice it as she passed by. They gazed at each other for a few moments, and then Niki got this photo.

Here on the Mendonoma Coast Bobcats are often seen in the daylight. They are great Gopher hunters, and can be seen in meadows going after a rodent meal.

Thanks to Niki for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
