Bobcat?

Photo taken from wikipedia
He was back and I got the best photo I could of his/her prints.
I hope you can see the print. The reason I now think it's a bobcat and not a lynx or cougar
as I had originally thought , is because the prints are so much smaller. According to the
information I've read this is descriptive of a bobcat's print.
maxwaugh.com
Here is a comparable print. See how small it is. Now I want you
to know I have no neighbors with domestic cats, so that is out
of the question.
My photo again. You can see the hare track too. Let me tell
you we usually have many 'snow bunnies' around here. My
husband and I haven't seen one yet this year!

This sunset was from three or four nights ago. I forgot I had taken it. You can see how the ice
is beginning to form on the lake. It comes and goes, until it finally freezes all the way to the
island eight miles away.
Beginning next Tuesday I want to begin a regular weekly feature. I thought of this while
being carried away by Calgon. I'm excited about it and think it will be fun. I will give
you more details once I have it all cemented in my mind.
Our son, Elijah's Dr. appointment is this Thursday. I so appreciate all the prayers
and concern you've expressed. Thank you again!
I will let you know as soon as I know anything.
Blessing-Kimberly

  2. Wow. That picture is gorgeous. Make me jealous of your cold weather. Here in GA today, it was near 65 degrees! Hope you can figure out what the mysterious animal is soon. Yikes!

  3. Ahhh, a bobcat. I still wouldn't want to meet one in the forest or have one upon my deck or near my house. That said, John just informed me that some critter has dug under the foundation of the addition. Ugh. One of those miserable raccoons or a groundhog or a skunk or something nasty.

    Exquisite photo. Truly beautiful and so cold looking.

    Keeping Elijah in prayer...

  4. Oh Calgon take me away...so remember that and could use it today!

    Bobcats...well that is one wild animal that has visited us a couple of times right here in the big city...just a couple of miles from one of the largest airports in the US...walked right into our yard, we watched him behind our glass doors

  5. I don't think I'd want a Bobcat roaming about my yard, even if it is smaller than the ones you thought it might be. It's good you figured it out, though.

    Love the sunset photo--wow--so pretty!

  7. Very interesting, you must have a lot of wildlife around your cabin. I have lived in the bushes up north near Ft St John for years, all we ever saw were bears.
    Hugs, Cindy

  9. Holy smokes! I would be so scared to have a bobcat meandering through my woods. As it is, we have had a good deal more coyotes this year. Oy!
    Your sunset image could not be more beautiful. It is like a winter wonderland!!
    I am praying for Elijah each day. :o)
    hugs to you. Trish

  10. I am no help on the identity of the cat prints...It's pretty scary though, much more so than our coyotes, cats are so sneaky and quiet. - Still praying for your Elijah, I have a sticky note on my monitor with his name on it! xo

  11. Incredible photos Kimberly; especially of the sunset. I'm so anxious to see what your weekly feature will be-you may inspire those of us who are having a hard time finding topics.
    Have a great evening.

  13. I'm guessing the bobcat is following the bunny who left his or her tracks! Good print photos!

  14. That sunset photo is absolutely beautiful! Looks like a bobcat to me. Haha, like I would know!:)
    Anyway, your son is in my prayers.

  15. What a gorgeous sunset! Do you suppose the lack of rabbits is due to the 'cat' in the area? That's sad. I've been thinking about Elijah and wondering so thanks for the update. Blessings.

  22. There have been a few bobcats spotted here in mid-Missouri. I really wouldn't want to meet one!

    The last photo is stunning! Good luck to Elijah. Praying that his test will be good.

  25. What a beautiful photo of the lake Kimberly. You have a little piece of heaven right outside your door. Poor little bunnies. Hope that they are just hiding and Mr. Bobcat didn't get them.

  27. We have them stop by every so often!
    They also are able to take off the tight bungee cords we keep on our trash cans!!
    Strong critters they are :)
