WE INTERRUPT THIS PROGRAM FOR A SPECIAL NEWS BULLETIN

Wasn't it The Drifters that sang "Up On The Roof"? Well this morning we had some drifters up on the roof. Evidently, they had been there most of the night because one of our guests kept hearing footsteps. Finally this morning, she walked outside and looked up to see what it was. . .


So up on the rooftop, not Reindeer (sorry, that's a different story) but a Bobcat. Wait:


Not just one, but a mother with a baby. No wait:


Not just one baby, it is a mother with two babies.


Soon they became a little more at ease, and started walking around, one never straying too far from mom:


Then suddenly they jumped down off the roof (from about 15 feet) and off they went. It took me much longer to get down from the roof and to where I thought I could get one more photo.  I did find "mom" again, a got another photo before she disappeared into the cactus:


And, here I was just talking about how lucky people were who had foxes in their backyard all the time.
