A Bott's Pocket Gopher gets the worst end of it's interaction with a bobcat in San Benito County, California. While you can't see the drizzle in the image, I was surprised to see bobcats out almost immediately after the rain would end. This is one of four bobcats we shot before the rains really closed us out.

Nikon D4s body, Nikon 500mm SWM lens, ISO 1600, f4 at 1/2500 second,window rest.

The soft light from the dreary weather helps you here. Good capture.
