Over the last few months I have been visited by this bobcat. I normally see it in the evenings after I get home from work just waiting in the yard or the yard of the house next to me. It stares at me and watches me as I get out of my car and then will run off when I go inside. Often times it feels like its checking in on me and making sure I am doing okay. I have tried taking photos of this bobcat before with no luck and I mostly find myself distracted and just enjoying the moment. There is something truly special about staring into a wild animals eyes and feeling like you know it for the first time. It is a feeling only John J. Dunbar could relate to. I think about the animal often and hope to see it again sometime soon.

Always use caution when viewing and photographing wildlife. It is your responsibility to do your research to learn and understand animal behaviors and habits. The better we respect the wild the better we protect it.
