Summer Montacute had a Bobcat visit her place at The Sea Ranch. She wrote, “This Bobcat wandered through our backyard yesterday evening. It walked very close to the house and I was able to take these photos from the inside. I have never seen one so close and now have a new appreciation for their gorgeous fur! We’ve seen so much wildlife from our home since moving here a year ago but never a Bobcat. Truly special!”

Bobcats, with their tufted ears and bobbed tails, are year round residents of the Mendonoma Coast.

Thanks to Summer for allowing me to share her photos with you here.

Today, Friday, is sunny and warm, with fog over the ocean. No wind!

Here's the Bobcat lurking in the grasses at The Sea Ranch.

Then the Bobcat showed him or herself.

And finally Eric saw it saunter over to a neighbor's house.

Bobcats are often seen hunting for rodents during the daylight hours!

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

Cloudy and drippy here today - light rain. I'll report on rain totals tomorrow.

Ron Bolander noticed this Bobcat a ways off in a meadow along Lighthouse Road in Point Arena.

You can clearly see this Bobcat's tufted ears. They love Gophers and Voles and such. The meadows on the way in to the Point Arena Lighthouse have an ample supply!

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

oh, what a beautiful day today. Flat ocean, sunny skies, temps in the low 60's. Gray Whales are going by our portion of the coast now, headed south to the lagoons off Baja.

It's great fun to spot a Bobcat but you don't really expect one to be right outside your door. But that's what Janet Burch and Jim Tervo witnessed at their Sea Ranch home. In this first photo, taken by Janet, the Bobcat is on the hunt.

The Bobcat was successful - look at the rodent in his/her mouth.

Thanks to Janet for allowing me to share her photos with you here.

There were clouds this morning but this afternoon is sunny. Temps are in the 60's - a beautiful autumn afternoon!

In a split-second, a Raven dive-bombed the Bobcat, and the Bobcat flipped upside down, landed back on four paws, and took off into the meadow. Did I imagine this? No - there on my phone was the image of a Bobcat seemingly floating above the meadow with four paws pointed toward the sky.”

There was an error in my previous post - it was an Allen's Hummingbird, not an Anna's. Sorry about that! Thanks to all who wrote in to correct the post.

This morning felt very autumn-like, with breezes and sun. Then this afternoon clouds have moved in, and temps are very mild, mid-60's.
