Dan McCulloughCaught a bobcat on the trailcam carefully placing its paws in the footprints I had made a couple days before in the deep snow. When it gets to where I turned around, it looks around and decides - nope, not going out there, and turns to go down to the brook.
Climate Jenny 2.1@danmccullough You have a bobcat! Wonderful!
My nearby wildlife refuge caught a bobcat on a trail cam last year for the first time ever. This is VERY unexpected but quite exciting.
@ClimateJenny Hopefully the refuge will get more sightings! I find that they don’t use the trail as much as the foxes and smaller mammals.
@danmccullough How do they feel about sharing space with coyotes?
@ClimateJenny Right! That’s a good question. I rarely see a bobcat the same week I see coyote.
@danmccullough The refuge has a well-established coyote population. It’s adorable when they hear sirens nearby and start singing along.
