2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Bobcat, Quintana Netotropical Bird Sanctuary Tx, United States of America
The Snarl

Species: Bobcat | Location: Quintana Netotropical Bird Sanctuary Tx, United States of America

While standing at a drip hoping for a few fall migrants I noticed the avian population go wild. Thinking it was a cat or dog I went to shoo it away until this bobcat looked up at me and snarled. I have never been so surprised. With only a 600mm lens I was too close for a full body shot so had to make do! with this close up. One of my first shots and still one of my favorites

An avid birder from the age of 11 I am a Brit who, due to work, has moved to the US. Luckily Texas offers many avian subjects and photo opportunities and I spend my spare time chasing that "perfect" shot. Forty years on I am still searching
