The other day I spotted some blood by my favorite public bird feeder. I think I found the culprit. At first I thought this juvenile bobcat was a squirrel as there were damn near 100 scurrying around me, until I noticed those piercing eyes. She wasn't much larger than some of the fatter squirrels. It was absolutely adorable watching her practice stalking her prey unsuccessfully.

I've only ever been close to a bobcat 3 times in my life. Once when I was like 9, I was playing out in the woods behind my apartment and happened upon a full grown one maybe 30' away. Luckily for me she kept her distance and didn't see me as a threat or prey.
