2016 Wildlife Photo Contest

Bobcat, Estes Park, Colorado, United States
Meadow Bobcat

Species: Bobcat | Location: Estes Park, Colorado, United States

I spotted this bobcat in a meadow on our family's land near Estes Park, CO. It was just before dusk on a windy evening, and the bobcat seemed to be hunting in the meadow. When I approached it to get a photo, it stopped moving and sat down. We stared at each other for a few minutes and I took some photos. It was amazing to me to see how calm the bobcat was. I remember vividly how much the grass was moving in the wind, but the bobcat was so still. It was as if time stopped while we looked at each other and all was peaceful.
