Description
On one of my visits to the Catoctin Wildlife Preserve & Zoo in Thurmont / Catoctin Maryland I wandered pretty far into the landscape and found some unique and lovely creatures that I think were somewhat new, as I didn't remember having seen them before. This glorious bobcat (lynx) was spending some quite time in the warm spring sunshine, calmly grooming his (her?) already lovely coat. Very shy, though ... as he saw me approach, he quickly and silently melted back into the shadows.
Lovely creature!!! Although native to our area, as well as in most other parts of our country, I'd never seen one before ... even though I've spent lots of time in woods and forests. It was a joy to view this guy and be able to fire off a shot that captured him, even if it was only for a split second. I'm sure he got back to his peaceful cleaning ritual as soon as I was out of sight.
