Here’s another photo of a bobcat that I’ve posted a few shots of in the past. It was a couple of years ago and I was on my way back to the airport after a business trip in LA. I had heard reports of a bobcat sighting at the San Joaquin Nature Preserve in Irvine. I had about forty minutes to spare before I needed to be at the airport, so I decided to stop by the preserve. It turned out to be a good decision. I was able to get a nice series of ground level images as the bobcat cautiously passed in front of me on its way to hunt ducks in a nearby swamp. I liked the lick smack on this particular frame.
