Absolutely unbelievable capture on your part! KCollett wrote:
The shots in the middle, with just the cat, stand well on their own.
Agreed.
Thanks for sharing.
Awesome series Yves, and thanks for adding the shots in the water, which completely told the story. I was pretty sure it probably got wet from the approach from above and the momentum, etc, but I wasn’t quite sure until seeing the last few. Your patience certainly paid off staying with this animal for hours.
Not that it matters, and I'm certainly not an expert, but I'm thinking these images may depict a juvenile lynx and not a bobcat. If you compare the body coloration in image 6 to the animal shown here: https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1586346
Your animal sure looks similar to the lynx. Also the ear tufts look a little too pronounced for a bobcat.

The body markings on your cat look much more similar to a lynx. Granted bobcat markings vary widely depending on the region of the country.
Anyway, I just thought I would throw that out for consideration. Regardless, your shots are all very impressive, and are a joy to view. ...Show more →
I thought the exact same thing, but didn't post anything about it yet. We don't have Bobcats up here, but a lot of lynx ... and this fellow sure looks like a lynx to me. Maybe folks who have had experience with both can chime in.
Outstanding action sequence! Wow!
And I love that last image in the op set. It's as if he gave you that look saying...
"And that's how it's done! Any questions?"
Must have been one cold kitty after that swim. brrrr...
Fabulous set!
