More on our Bobcat visitor

I'm still amazed about the visiting bobcat. What astonishes me is that these bobcats are hanging around this community with so many people. In such an inhabited place.

Years ago, 23 years ago, when this and the surrounding communities were being built, we displaced snakes, hawks, and many others animals. It used to be fairly common to see raccoons while on an evening walk or to have skunks saunter through the patio at happy hour. Numerous snakes had to be removed from yards. The roadrunners became almost tame taking raw meat from the neighbors. I remember realizing when the hawks were becoming scarce. The golf course lakes and green grassy areas must be attracting more and more animals back into our fenced community.

The rabbits came back to eat the pansies and petunias we plant. Some people put out bird seed to attract the quail. The rabbits and quail attract coyotes, and now, bobcats. I'm happy the original inhabitants are making their way back into the neighborhood.
