I love this photo of the Bobcat lurking...or resting...in the grasses that Perry Hoffman got. Those are hypnotic eyes!

After a while, the Bobcat was on the move. You can see the tufted ears in Perry's photo.

Bobcats are year round residents of the Mendonoma Coast. They usually hunt rodents in grassy meadows as Perry's photos show.

Thanks to Perry for allowing me to share his photos with you here. To see much more of Perry's photography, here is his website: https://magentaraven.com/

Today has been stormy and cold. In the 5 o'clock hour this Friday morning we had lightning and thunder out over the Pacific Ocean. It's very cold - well, cold for the Mendonoma Coasts - 43 degrees. Therefore we didn't get as much rain as predicted. About 2/3 of an inch. With the 1.43 inches from the previous storm, I'm now over 54 inches for the season. Hooray!

Endlessly fascinating, Bobcats are seen hunting rodents in grassy meadows. It is wonderful that a wild creature such as a Bobcat is free to coexist with us. Rick Wilson photographed one on The Sea Ranch.

Thanks to Rick for sharing his photo with us. To see another great Bobcat photo, this one by Drew Fagan, here's the link: http://www.mendonomasightings.com/2011/06/09/bobcat-caught-in-mid-air-by-drew-fagan-in-gualala/ He photographed the Bobcat leaping in mid-air.
