We back up to the desert and have really enjoyed watching all of the adorable wildlife...baby bunnies, mommy and daddy quail with their tiny babies trailing after them, and of course the doves and songbirds. We heard from our neighbors there are bobcats and mountain lions in the hills behind us, but they have been here 8 years and never seen any real close. So last week, the bobcat showed himself to our neighborhood and used our backyard (the girls saw him, I did not) as a way to the neighbor's roof. It was dusk and we couldn't see him all that well but admired our view of his sillohuette from afar. We figured we'd never see one again. A couple of days ago we were all inside reading with Hannah and I looked up and saw a BOBCAT looking in our big sliding glass door at us! He just stared at us! My stomach did a few flips and we all froze. I thought maybe he was looking for Brynlee. She loves to sit in front of that window and look at the birds and bunnies while she plays with her toys. What a great snack she would be for him! Ew! He sauntered over to our fence and jumped on it. We all scrambeld to find BJ and the camera. And this is what he got:
Tell me that doesn't give you a chill down your spine! BJ went out front with the video camera and tried to get some shots but luckily this bobcat still fears people and he ran off. They are amazing animals, but man am I glad we were INSIDE when we saw him!
