p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Close Encounter

These are from a few years ago.

I was looking for the Bobcat that was spotted in the area a day or
two before but had no luck, I decided to walk back the same trail 10 minutes later and
to my surprise she was there with one of her little kittens. They were relaxing underneath some trees.
It was cute, the kitten would paw at the air every time the shutter clicked, after a short moment
the mother must have thought the kitten was getting to comfortable around me and she slowly
escorted him/her off into the bushes.
I also included a couple of extra shots of the mother.

It was an experience I won't forget.

Thanks for looking.

What a beautiful series, Tim. They are so cute and the mother is a really good hunter to be able to feed her kittens.

Wonderful ... I'm surprised the mother let you so close. Used to people maybe?

Wow Tim. I saw the thumbnail at the top of the page and was wondering who's these might be. You nailed them my friend, how I wish they were mine!! They sure brought back some great memories of when a couple of you guys would post these.

Excellent series Tim and what timing to have caught the Bobcat with the squirrel in its mouth.

Wow, what a find! Great job capturing the moment(s). I love the secretive bobcat and every time I spot one it's a real treat. I've never seen a mom with any young ones like this, though.

Terrific, fun series.

Thanks Kirk I haven't seen them around for a least a year
I hope they're not gone from the area.
