Whitewater Draw Bobcat


Yesterday, we took a little picnic to Whitewater Draw (here in Arizona) which I have talked about before. While there were several thousand Sandhill Cranes and other waterbirds, the highlight was this bobcat. He was a little too far for a "great photo" but nonetheless a wonderful reminder of the trip. We could not get any closer because we had reached the beginning of the marsh. We hung around for a while hoping he would head in our direction. I would have been willing to wait several hours if necessary. However, he saw something behind him, turned around, and then disappeared in the high grass -- presumably into his crouching/attacking mode. We waited quite a while but never saw him again. Fairly typical of the wildlife photographer. You never know.
