We never can get enough of good Bobcat photos. Bobcats are thriving on the Mendonoma Coast. Here they hunt in the daytime, giving photographers a chance to get a wonderful wildlife photo. Jane Larrow did just that.
And here the Bobcat turned to look back at Jane.
Bobcats are about twice the size of a house cat. They have tufted ears and bobbed tails. Gophers are among their favorite snacks.
Thanks to Jane for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
Jim Garlock photographed a Bobcat recently. He entitled it "You looking at me?"
We are lucky to have these fascinating creatures living wild on the Mendonoma Coast. They are great rodent hunters so those plagued with Gophers are always happy to see one pay them a visit.

Being on the Coast today is like being in a dream. A high pressure system is pushing a big storm up into Oregon and Washington (sorry, Steve!), leaving us with a lovely spring-like day.
