Bobcat

Lynx rufus

Notes:

I'd been seeing the tracks of this cat all winter long, and one morning I was walking to work and spotted it in a meadow. My heart was pounding while I got my camera out, hoping it would stay put long enough for me to get a picture. In the third shot you can also see the tracks of a coyote that also came along the trail at some point.

That's a good idea. I'll see if I can find the pictures I took of its tracks.
