Monica Martinez regularly sees this Bobcat hunting gophers and voles in a Sea Ranch meadow. On this day the Bobcat snoozed under a bush, and then was disturbed by a few Deer.

Monica also photographed the cat with the tufted ears walking down her driveway.

It's pretty wonderful that Monica can look out her window and see a Bobcat, a Bobcat living lightly on the land.

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

We received .50 inches of rain yesterday here in Anchor Bay. September rain is so very welcome. 2.10 inches season to date. May it keep on coming! Today is breezy and beautiful, with everything washed clean.

Mark Simkins and Kitty Wolfe have sightings of a Bobcat near their Manchester area home now and then.  Last week this Bobcat emerged from the foliage and sat in the sun for a bit.

Here is a photo of a Bobcat kitten Mark took a few years ago. Just look at those big paws!

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

oh, it's a beautiful day on the Mendonoma Coast. The fog has pulled back over the ocean, and it's sunny, calm and mild. Wildflowers are beautiful now.

Bill Mabie found this Bobcat near Irish Beach, and he got a wonderful photo of the cat with the bobbed tail.

The markings on every Bobcat are unique to itself, like our fingerprints.

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

Foggy right along the coast, and bright sunshine at our house, which is a 1/2 mile from the ocean. The Mendonoma Coast has many microclimates. The temperature hit 72 degrees today, not very winter-like!

The northwest wind is howling this afternoon and it's quite biting outside! I don't mind this wind because I know it brings with it upwelling in the Pacific Ocean. This is when the surface waters are replaced by cold, nutrient-rich waters from below. Upwelling ignites the whole food chain, an amazing phenomenon that takes place right here, off the Point Arena Peninsula.

Jinx McCombs had a sighting of a beautiful Bobcat at her home near Point Arena.

She said this Bobcat stayed in this position for over a half hour. Perhaps he/she was enjoying the sun and flowers. This Bobcat has some amazing spots. Fun Fact: The marking of each Bobcat is unique to itself, like our fingerprints are unique to each of us.

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

Sunny, windy, upwelling happening...and Spring doesn't know.

Karen Wilkinson noticed this Bobcat hiding in the grasses near a trail at The Sea Ranch. She called Mike Petrich to come and take a look.

Mike photographed what I believe is a female Bobcat. Females are quite a bit smaller than males.

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

Our string of dry weather continues, much to our delight and much to our dismay. No rain yet in the month of February. No mushrooms to speak of with the dry conditions. I did see my first Western Trillums in bloom this morning!
