Field Notes

Notes:

I'd been seeing the tracks of this cat all winter long, and one morning I was walking to work and spotted it in a meadow. My heart was pounding while I got my camera out, hoping it would stay put long enough for me to get a picture. In the third shot you can also see the tracks of a coyote that also came along the trail at some point.

Hope to see more this winter, along with fisher, fox and coyote.
That's a good idea. I'll see if I can find the pictures I took of its tracks.
What a beautiful picture Scott!! You should also post a pic of its tracks . Would be interested to see it.
I'm so glad he did! It's a great shot, he looks so calm and he's staring right at you. Brilliant spotting!
Very nice to have the wild close to us. Thanks for a perfect shot.
