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.

Allen Vinson got lucky when this Bobcat strolled by, nicely accented by a Douglas Iris in bloom.

Then the Bobcat looked at Allen and he got this photo of its face. You can clearly see the tufted ears.

Peter Cracknell photographed a Bobcat recently. The first shows the Bobcat hunting, probably hunting a tasty gopher.

Bobcats are year round residents of the Mendonoma Coast. It is always a treat to see one - unless you have chickens!

Allen Vinson looked out his Sea Ranch home and saw a Bobcat on its back with its feet in the air, obviously scratching its back. The Bobcat then stood up and stared right at Allen!

The cat with the tufted ears and bobbed tail actually took a few strides towards Allen. But it veered off and went its own way, leaving Allen in peace.

It is wonderful to see a Bobcat saunter by your back deck. That's just what happened to Thom Matson at his home on The Sea Ranch.

You can clearly see its tufted ears and short, bobbed tail. Below is another photo of the Bobcat, walking across a meadow with the Pacific Ocean as a backdrop.

Bobcats love gophers and The Sea Ranch meadows have plenty of them!
