Bobcat

I noticed something — not sure what at first — sitting down the hill from our house.  Decided it might be a cat.  But something seemed odd about it.  So I got out the binoculars and realized that it wasn’t one of the neighbor’s felines.  About then it got up and started wandering and it was obvious it was not domestic kitty.  It was way too husky and the tail was very short and the ears…  It had been many years since the last time I saw one a bobcat here.  Hopefully it will stick around for a while and work on the excess mouse, gopher and ground squirrel population.
