I digiscoped this beautiful cat in Madera Canyon, southeast of Tucson, AZ back in 2006. Pamela and I had been hiking and birding around the area, when we heard the afternoon thunderstorms rolling in, so we were heading back to either the car (or at least shelter if we couldn't make it to the car before the rain came). Suddenly Pamela says "I think I just saw a cat" and sure enough a few hundred yards away, this bobcat was trotting along. Thankfully it stopped for a few moments, allowing me to snap off a few quick photos before continuing on it's way and essentially disappearing before our eyes.
It delayed us for just enough time for us to NOT get to the car or shelter before the rain came.
Worth it. Totally worth it.

Beautiful cat and neat sighting! Sorry you got wet but so glad you had the cool experience and could share it with us.
Very cool.what a beautiful animal... love Madeira canyon and that area!
Very nice! I saw a Bobacat once in my life-to get a photo would be a real thrill for me.
Cooool. I've seen mountain lions, but never a lynx or a bobcat. How lucky!
What a beautiful shot... what a great opportunity to have captured the very elusive and beautiful bobcat! I've been lucky enough to have seen a only few bobcats and only 2 or 3 seconds - just happened to be in the right place at the right time and was so pleasantly surprised - just to catch the glimpse. To ever be lucky enough to see one again (and if only lucky enough to capture that moment such as you did) ...those if if ifs :).. (even "ifs" makes it all worthwhile -lol)
Thank you very much for your input on the white bird. Your keen observation of the need to focus on the body shape and posture of the field sparrow... tops! Thank you again.
This is my first time here - looking forward to enjoying more of your beautiful pictures and adventures!
