Bobcat Lynx rufus californicus My first video clips using the 7D. The clips are a compilation of clips of bobcats were made on thick foggy, windy days in low light in June. The quality is a little wacky regarding some camera shake, some out of focus in the fog, noise and a couple choppy transitions. But regardless here's a document of my first clips. The clips show brief moments of a bobcat hunting in fog, bobcat in grass, bobcat resting on a rock, and a bobcat hunting along the side of a road. The clips are of 3 different bobcats. One male and two females. One of the females is a cat I had not seen before and was seen in a completely different location than the other two...always exciting to see a new cat!
Bobcats - Lynx rufus I came upon this courting pair of bobcats but unfortunately someone came up from behind me and walked toward the cats and that caused the cats to leave. As soon as the cats left so did the guy. I hung out for the next 8 hours. The cats came back into view but much further away. I believe what I was able to observe was a courting pair. I saw no actual mating but mostly the two cats sitting side by side or face to face and off and on circling each other. When the female would get up the male would quickly get up and approach her and he would let out a squeak-chirp sound and she would submissively sit back down. They did not hunt during this 8 hrs and they only traveled about 50-75yds.
