The photos are always wonderful, but this week I think they’re especially fine. Stunning, really. Thank you all so much.
When I first glanced at the picture of the Bobcat, and before reading the caption, I thought it was a Lynx.
Can’t see the diagnostic black tail tip of a Lynx in this picture but the nature of the hind end of the animal is what made me think Lynx. Can someone who knows Bobcat and Lynx well, please weigh in on this? Thanks!
Never mind about Bobcat/Lynx. I did some more looking at websites that compared the two species, and the animal in the picture is most likely a Bobcat after all.
