It's unusual to see two adult Bobcats together but this is spring, and love is in the air. Ron Bolander was in his car when these two cats with the tufted ears crossed in front of him.

Ron said they were near Stoneboro Road.

Here is a photo Ron took some time ago of a Bobcat sitting in the sun. Bobcats are said to be nocturnal but they are regularly seen in the daylight hours here on the Mendonoma Coast.

Thanks to Ron for allowing me to share his photos with  you here.

It's lightly raining here today and there is no wind. We are supposed to go into drier and warmer weather next week. I think we can all agree that we're ready for that!

James Adams spotted this beautiful Bobcat hunting in a meadow on The Sea Ranch.

You can see the tufted ears in James' photo. Fun fact: each Bobcat's markings are unique, just like our fingerprints.

Thanks to James for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

We are having sunny but windy weather today. The northwest wind causes upwelling in the Pacific Ocean, igniting the entire food chain.

Gail Spencer photographed this Gray Fox relaxing in the sun. Gray Foxes are suppose to be nocturnal but they are often seen in the daylight hours here on the Mendonoma Coast.

Gray Foxes have a raspy bark for their call - it is quite distinctive. And they are year round residents here.

I imagine that this fox is seeking the shade today, as we are in the middle of a heat wave. Even at the bluff edge it is warm today.

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