Bobcat Stalking

Gallery: WildlifePosted November 28, 201722,615 views8 comments

We had two excellent encounters with bobcats along the Madison River during our winter Yellowstone tour a couple seasons ago. I am eagerly looking forward to returning to the park in January and seeing what kind of magic Yellowstone will share with us this winter.

Wonderful find, and fresh, un-trampled snow. Love the flying snow as he creeps thru it.
Fine work, as usual!

Hope to see you (and the bobcat) in January, Ken.

I like how you caught it among the sage. The brush peeking through the snow breaks up the monotony of the white, and adds some nice texture.

Great frame. Bobcat in full stride with the spray of snow. Nicely exposed and composed. Well done.
