[ltr][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Just ended another 2-day bobcat safari with a great group of photographers ... just tore up the cats again. Eleven bobcats for the two days, which is about average, but we had 4 point blank encounters like this one. This male bobcat leaped up on this fallen oak branch and started cleaning himself 40 feet away. We all piled out looking for angles (off my truck's hood for me) and before long we had other folks pulling up and getting out to shoot with us. The bobcat gave us about 3-4 minutes before getting up and sauntering away.

The image I posted last Friday - Jan 8 - of the bobcat walking on the log is not this bobcat, shot today (Monday, Jan 11), but photographed on the same fallen oak tree trunk. There are just a lot of bobcats and damp grass is so miserable for them to walk in ... apparently.[/font]

What a beautiful creature. I like him posed on the trunk with similar tones. He really pops off the green background.

A beat pose, and I agree with Missy on the green background.

Great ear tufts!! The tongue out is also special. BG as mentioned is super.
