Camouflaged Bobcat

I had never really thought of bobcats as blending into tree bark, say the way a great gray owl blends to pine trunk bark, but that changed when I shot this image of the bobcat crouching on a fallen oak trunk.  They are tough to see in the field, and nearly impossible to see if stationary on fallen oak limbs like this.  I've photographed about 10 bobcats in trees, but I've never seen one in a tree first, I've just seen them jump or climb into the tree.

Nikon D7200 body, Nikon 500mm f4 lens, ISO 400, f4 at 1/1250 second, Induro tripod, raw converted to jpg in CS6.
