Kathleen shoots bobcat in neighbor's yard!


At dusk today this bobcat was spotted along a neighbor's fence stalking prey. Stan dashed back to the house for Kathleen and the camera, jumped in the car and returned. The bobcat was still there, but moving on now. Stan stopped the car and Kathleen leaned out the window. "There it is, shoot now, shoot now, Kathleen."

This was Kathleen's first live bobcat, friends, and her excitement is quite visible in the photo, above. (Remember, prop, hold your breath, squeeze, Kathleen.)

The bobcat sauntered into another yard, then onto the fairway in front of our house. Kathleen retreated there and fired again and again. Results at right. If you can't see it, click to zoom in. It's there in the center. Really. If you look carefully, up beyond the golf cart, you can see some mule deer along the fence line as well.

By the way, Linda, be sure to bring the lenses for the telescope when you come. We're not only watching mule deer on the other side of the fairway, but there is a pool boy for Kathleen.
