Excellent series. Photographing these animals can be frustrating due to their crepuscular and erratic behavior, but is very rewarding. Especially when you get 'the shot'. I hope you get to see another one soon!

Where is this wildlife sanctuary?? It would be a dream & such a change from Alaska which I like on occasion. Thanks & take care. Bob

This is really an amazing set. I'd be happy just to see a Bobcat.

Really well done and no worries on the equipment - this is fine work.

You sure gave this kitty the run for the money. One of your best series in a log time

Mr. Zoom -
Well, it was the Coot that gave this kitty a run for its money........... Ummm, oh I get it. (I'm the old coot!).
So have I been promoted from "El" Guapo to "Mondo" Guapo?
- E/M Guapo

Rustoleum -

No, you are Rustoleum, which means you're not quite as rusty as you once were as you have a new coat of paint. Mondo-Guapo is reserved for the young and handsome folk such as myself. Got it?

I'm S-O-O-O-O-O-O confused!

You owe Thang dinner! What an incredible experience. I think you photographed it very well Ken. You got some great shots of the action and ensuing struggle. Congrats.

Hung -
Thanks. I've already told Thang that I'm into debt, big time! Some dim-sum might be in order.

Hi Ken,

Thrilling sequence of shots and great narration. I was rooting for the coot. Thanks for sharing your adventure!

Cris -
Believe me. It seems that a lot of us were rooting for the Coot. Just wasn't in the cards.

Been a long time since I saw you on FM. How have you been? I imagine the move has been good for you and your raptors (maybe everything but the cold?).

I hope to have another encounter soon, too. But it just isn't as consistent as the situation that you have there.

Bob -
SJWS is San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary located in sunny Southern California. It's right next to the University of California Irvine in a suburban type setting. Just a bit warmer the year -round than your Alaska.
We've had other FM visitors from the northwest. Come on down some time.

Chris -
Thanks. Before my first sighting of the local Bobcat, we went a long time just hearing about it but never seeing it. The last three and a half years have been kinder to us.

Thank you. But, you know how it is ....... you ALWAYS want to get a "better" shot.

Great photo story Ken. Right from start to finish nature at work. Captures are really good and made for a fine photo story.
