He didn’t stay long.
And of course he arrived uninvited.
I was just having breakfast and almost choked on my tea. I looked out toward the forest and there he was.
Was that a dog? Maybe.
But, no, too tall – and the legs were way too long.
And then, as if he sensed I was watching, he disappeared into the forest.
Google to the rescue!
I found close enough photos to confirm what I saw was a Bobcat! He was the size of a very tall athletic dog with long gangly legs. And in a strange way he was quite beautiful.
May Bob reside peacefully in our forest primeval alongside his friends (the bears and other wildlife we are suddenly seeing around here).
Do you suppose the months of lockdowns for the corona virus have lulled seldom seen critters into thinking our rural habitat has returned to Eden?
