This bobcat image was taken with a 500 mm Nikon lens and camera from our kitchen window. It was about 30 feet out in the yard sitting on a log pile. I only had the 500 in the house and it was too much!
I’ve seen this male bobcat a few times this summer as I have a few cameras out in his territory near a beaver pond. He uses this log to cross a section of a beaver swamp. (Click on the white triangle to play video)
I was surprised this morning by this bobcat way across the channel walking along the ice! You never know what you will see at the Quabbin ! 1/20/17
EYE TEST. ! I spent 50 minutes watching this bobcat catching mice in a field in northern Quabbin this morning. He didn’t even offer me any !
Click the white triangle to play: Finally after the 3rd time on my cameras this cat let itself be seen! Crank the volume and listen to the cat vocalize. Its almost a meow!
I found what I thought was a perfect spot for a bobcat to cross a pond channel on a log. I set up the TC and left it for a week…This morning I found this on the camera!
I apologize for the bad quality but this is a cool image……This is a screen shot from a trail camera video in our backyard last night. Its a bobcat thats been hunting squirrels in our backyard.
I hiked in to the northern Quabbin in 6 degree F weather this morning, set up hiding in the woods, and BINGO ! Withei 45 minutes this bobcat walked out about 100 yards south of me with a squirrel for breakfast !! 12/11/16
Here's a shot of a bobcat heading for his spare ribs dinner at the Quabbin. 1/4/17
I watched this bobcat feed on a deer carcass on the ice today for about 2 and a half hours. It was quite an experience ! 1/4/17
The same bobcat wandering around the ice taking a break from feeding. A beautiful cat to say the least! 1/4/17
"Sorry Dale, I'd like to stay and chat but I'm hungry"
I was wondering where the bobcat went I saw dragging the squirrel last November when all of a sudden it appeared ! It was on a mission. Here it's trying to find out where the clicking noise is coming from even though I had my camera on the "quiet mode" setting......
A hungry bobcat came creeping along the edge of an old beaver dam as I was watching it for any critter that may be around. It took me by surprise to say the least ! What a beautiful animal 7/16/17
The bobcat stuck its head back out of the bushes to try to figure out who was watching it?.....
About 6 weeks ago I took some pictures of a bobcat at 8AM on a Sunday.... I took my trail camera and locked it to a tree about 2 weeks ago right where I saw the cat. Here is an image that was on the camera this morning !! Note the feet on this cat.... 8/30/17
You never know what to expect at Quabbin. As I was about to leave this morning a bobcat walked across the ice in front of me! 2/23/16
This male bobcat came running down the road right by me as I was waiting for more coyotes to appear, I'll take it !!
This morning I couldn't find the beavers after not going in to check them over the hot 4 days. It bothered me all day so this evening I went back into the pond to see if they were around tonight.. After being there about 20 minutes I heard tail slapping and loud splashing from about 120 yards away across the pond. I moved so I could see what was going on and I saw this bobcat watching the beavers from up on a tree down in the water. It could also possibly be the bobcat on the cover of my 1st book as it was close to where I took the cover photo.
And I didn't even have any catnip with me !
Don't eat yellow snow ! I found this bobcat territory scent marking this morning. I think the cat was really close to me to still have such a fresh looking marking in the snow. Not something I see every day however, tracks galore out that way... Note you can see where he walked off into the woods along his merry way!
