Actually I'm not sure whether this was a male or female bobcat, but I found it in Holderness at the Conservation area and had to photograph it through thick glass. I think the green in the eyes was a reflection from the foliage around the "cave" where the animal was sitting. They're making a come back, and there was one in my yard last year, but hopefully this is as close as I'll ever see one face to face.

What a beauty! I wouldn't want to get any closer than this either. But you did such a great job photographing through the glass - I'd never have known.

*You will have noticed that I haven't been commenting as much on your fine images!..This is because of the pains in my hands!..the constant use of the keyboard, makes this difficult..so, my dear friends..I can only apologise to you all in advance!*

Great shot. I will have to save in Grandson's favorites folder. He really likes animals. This looks more like Lynx than a bobcat but I'm sure the Holderness Conservation area knows more than me. Excellent post and they're making a comeback around here too. The wild turkey population is suffering from these predators. The conservation department turns things loose then denies they did it. We also have cougars. I will tell that story in narrative someday.. Good work PJ.

Well done! Taking photos through that thick glass can really distort things, you got a good one here.

Bobcat or Lynx doesn't matter, think it's better not to meet this fellow in your 'backyard'. Although captured through glass, the result is very good PJ.

Excellent job there, 'Lil PJ. If you have pet cats, keep an eye on them. These guys like them for desert.

Before I looked at the post you made I was about to freak out about how close you were getting to that dangerous, yet magestic creature. Thanks for sharing!

This one had an almost benign look but after reading the above comments I see they are not to be messed with.
A majestic creature, well taken :) Love those green eyes.

The question is not what you look at, but what you see ~ Marcel Proust
I did some googling, and I think you are right about it being a bobcat. Whatever it is though, you have captured it well, with those green eyes almost glowing. Great shot, PJ.

Greate picture, It looks very naturally. The cat is imposing. The dark background and the unsharp foreground emphasize it additionally. Good job!

Wonderful, even with the glass. The glass gives it a special look and it's best it was there between you. lol

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

A very impressive image. I'm not sure that the green is a reflection, however a male or female but wonderful for sure.

I was lucky to see one of these in the wild once, but only for a few short seconds. That was thirty years ago and five hundred miles away, so I was overdue for another. Thanks for the picture and the good news that they're holding on.

The eyes of this creature truly are amazing. Makes me think of the poor kid who was eaten by a Tiger at the San Francisco zoo on Christmas....But an excellent image!
