Description
Put this up just 'cuz we saw it
a bobcat in a tree near our home!! Had been hearing cats caterwauling so my daughter and I went out looking with the big flashlight to make sure it wasn't a neighbor's cat in trouble with any of the other local wildlife...saw eyes reflecting and then saw the bobcat!! Sure blends with the trees 
My daughter had the camera so I let her put up the best shot

I keeping thinking that I wish he/she'd hang around a bit more in the daylight - I'd love to be able to get some more photos

Wow! Really neat shot Ruth. I've only seen one of these in the wild.... they are not around my area, it was out in the western part of my state.

We have a few of them around - or at least we've seen one occasionally 
I just looked up where you are...I'm surprised that you don't have them...maybe too much competition.

Hi Ruth, we have them in Mass. , just that they are west of me by about 30 miles. I live only 18 miles from Boston, and it's kinda crowded around here for the cats to live.I do have my fair share of everything else except bears and moose.I would love to have them here!

ah, that makes sense... I know bear lived "near" where I lived in southern California and are probably here in northern CA too, but moose

I'm showing my age
They are beautiful cats! We have one or two (?) that pass through occasionally, but they blend so well with the usually brown grass that I'm sure they're around much more often than we see!! We only saw this one because of the yowling that the two! cats were doing
Here's another series I caught of one going up my driveway [link] the tree where this one was is about 30 feet down hill from here...
