A few years ago we had this female Bob Cat and family at Wakodahaatchee Wetlands She would show up on ocation by the back side and hang around You needed to be there for hours in order to have a glance I was able to captured it once.
Comments welcome and much appreciated

I like it a lot Alfred - and especially because it is a wild animal, not a captive like is the "norm" for most bobcat photos I have seen. I like the stare and the background. I'm not so sure about the almost-in-focus plant to the right of the cat as it tends to draw my eye. I'm still waiting to see my first wild bobcat - they are not so common up here. :(
Hi Alfred,
I like it! I did catch a glimpse of her well after sunset one time I was there. As I was shooting film..........no chance. Nice capture,

Great job, Afred. I think the last time we talked I had commented about people saying "lucky shot" when you actually spent hours preparing and anticipating so you would be ready when an opportunity took place. You were ready. This is a really great photo, especially considering how elusive bobcats are.
We have a family that lives in the fields behind our house. While we hear them from time to tie we never see them. i would love to get an image like this. I especially like the way the ear tufts show up. And that stare - Wow!
I like this, especially as I can relate;
2 years ago I spotted one two evenings in a row. It would pop out of the treeline, look around and then was gone.
Bobcats and Lynx are such elusive wild animals that any sighting of one, let alone a photograph, makes for a great highlight of a day!! Good one Alfred!
Alfred,
Great shot of an elusive cat, I agree with the plant to the right but certainly overlook it when you have a bobcat in the lens and can make a great shot with a soft background.
