Wonderful and enjoyable images, Jeffry! I envy you for being able to photograph and monitor that female bobcat in a fairly close distance in the last several years. I couldn’t get any bobcat closer thank mile away… it seems.

Outstanding, voted. I've visited Sweetwater a few times in hopes of seeing this cat, but likely never nearly enough. Anyway, lots of good stuff there besides the cat.
Thank you, it is always hit or miss, but always something to see!

This is a superb set well captured over time with a lot of care and effort. The shot of the mom dropping of the rat to the kitten is amazing behavioural capture!
Thank you, that is fun to watch as he grows up and becomes a hunter himself!

Wow!!!
These are absolutely amazing. It is clear that you have found a fantastic subject that has become comfortable with you presence. This speaks to your time investment and approach. The images are so intimate and illustrate a wide variety of behaviors.
Bravo!!
Thank you! She is a special animal! The male was beginning to trust a few of us, but was then collared for research. We are working hard to get the collar released and we hope he comes back around. To observe these animals behavior is far more important than a few data points on maps the researchers may gain.

Incredible images, each a prize winner. What kind of preserve do they live in? I assume it is in the wild.
