A Bobcat, a Mouse, and 5,000 Frames Later...

p.1 #1A Bobcat, a Mouse, and 5,000 Frames Later...


After countless attempts to photograph a bobcat the way I'd envisioned, one finally decided to cooperate. It even brought its own lunch!

Five frames from a memorable Arizona encounter, and several thousand more that will probably never see daylight.

BTW, I'm really digging the Sony 100-400mm GM. I don't know if it's just me, but this lens is ridiculously sharp!!!

Yes I lived in Tucson for a year and I ran across more bobcats there than anywhere I've lived out west. I really enjoyed photographing them.

Enjoyed your images.

This is a great set Sathsy. Are there hills or are some a little off level? Whichever it is, it's not harmful to the beautiful eye level images. At 400mm you had to be very close. Were you in a blind?

Wow what an encounter to have experienced and photographed. This seems to be a close encounter as well. That is one bold and proud kitty, lucky you😀

Thank you Morris. This is in a wetland preserve (no blinds). A couple of us were about 60-100 feet out waiting for the bobcat to come out of the wash area. At one point the frame was large and all our hearts stopped for a second. I had to quickly get up and move sideways to give it space.
