Thanks everyone!!! Sorry for not replying earlier as I really appreciate the looks and comments.
A busy day at work was rewarded with an extraordinary surprise. I saw three more bobcats after work and two of them walking together were the adult male and the young male. I've never heard of the father playing any role in raising the kittens and had assumed he would actively chase them away. Apparently, in this case at least, I was wrong.

Barry - this is quite interesting. Of all the literature I have read on the bobcats, the males usually play a very inactive role when it comes to raising the kittens. Check your pm.
Some truly exceptional captures in this set, Barry. Even when I hang around Thang I can't seem to get a shot of our local and I am really jealous of your people

You're one lucky guy to have daily encounters with a whole family of Bobcats. It's more of a crap-shoot with us down here. Most of the time, we come up empty.
Keep filling up those HDD. They're cheap, and those images you take are "priceless".

Thanks Ken. I know how it goes. I've spent years photographing one of them in this area. Usually I'll have one or two sightings a year. Now I'm spoiled rotten!
