Recently as we took a break while out for a walk at the lake, a bobcat walked across from down by the pump station building over into the woods. He must have been only about 20 feet away. He wasn't in any hurry but It happened so fast, by the time I pulled out my phone he was gone.
A few days later, we were walking the same route but had gone further north past the filter building, almost to the parking lot near the boat house, when we spotted another bobcat, this one coming out of the bushes alongside the trail. He trotted across the road and I caught this clip just as he was disappearing into the brush.
The first bobcat seemed larger than this one so it's exciting to think that there is a family, perhaps a community of them living in the woods around the lake.
It seems like I have always seen bobcats described as very furtive, rarely seen, so I feel pretty lucky to have seen two "in the wild".
