      Where do you find all these Bobcats? :p

      Another evidence of what great animal photographer we have here in this forum. Thank you very much for sharing, @Arizona Docent.

      @Great Argus Is there like a closet where Docent just whips out a native animal he wants to see and then places it on the ground? :p

      @Thinkpink2m Since I labelled it as female bobcat, I am pretty sure it's her and not him. ;) Thanks for the compliment (and don't take my correction too seriously, I am just joking around).

      @Great Argus @zoomaniac @CheeseChameleon2007 There are some bobcats at Sweetwater Wetlands that are not bothered by people (unlike most bobcats who will run from people). I have seen photos in the past on a photography forum of a bobcat with kittens here but I have never seen them myself. Last Spring (April through July 2020) I was visiting quite often in mornings and occasionally in afternoon to follow a family of coyotes with growing pups. They stayed in a settling pond below the main visitor area so most of my shots were from a distance. I never saw a bobcat at that time, though a daily visitor told me in the summer she saw one in the late afternoon a couple times. I just started going back and have seen bobcats on three of my four visits. All three times I have seen this adult female and one of those three times I saw her with a large male kitten and later saw a different adult (male I think but not sure). Some regulars I met on recent visits inform me this female was born there (possibly one of the kittens I had seen in the photos on the photography forum).

      The regulars have nicknamed this one Ocey (not sure of the spelling, but they pronounce it Aussie). The reason is because she is heavily spotted like an ocelot.
