I had no intention of photograping this Bobcat, and was actually taken by surprise, as it's the first time seeing one of these in my area.
My settings were all dialed-in for birds-in-flight (and it was dark), so this was grossly underexposed.
However, thought I'd post just for the heck of it. Now I will have something new to try and photograph seriously. :)

You have all the luck! I have never seen one outside of a zoo! Even underexposed, you edited it well. Out of curiosity, could you post an unedited version?

Thanks, Eric! I might mess with it some more, see if I can anything better.
I have attached an unedited jpeg for you.

"Now I will have something new to try and photograph seriously." - Good luck:)! I can't count the cases when I have seen something rare and didn't take a good photo. I'm pretty stubborn when it's about wildlife: like visiting the habitat many times in hope it may happen again... In few rare cases it was worth to do it! Just few out of many...
Wish you success! On other hand if you don't try you may waste that "few rare cases" were you have the second chance!

Thank you, my friend! I have challenged myself to capture this creature again! :cool:

@ISv whilst looking for Bobcat tracks this morning (I found a few!), I spotted this Beaver having a swim:

@danfaz, back in the time there was a report of Peregrine hanging on the tall buildings of Waikiki. Whilst looking for it I got this nice photo ( :ROFLMAO:)... and no even small feather from Peregrine! You are better - you found at least a tracks from the Bobcat!
;)

Very colorful, and lots of detail!
Thanks Dan.

At my age getting some of those shots on the break wall was probably comical to anyone watching. Old guy climbing around to get at the same level of these guys was a real trick but worth it when I looked at the images.

And I almost ended up swimming in the bay just once.
