Bobcat

 

Another exciting find on Cape San Blas was our first ever Bobcat. The only image I have managed to obtain was taken very, very early while out birding one morning.


Widely distributed throughout Florida in deep forest, swamps, and hammock land. Thick patches of saw palmetto and dense shrub thickets are important as den and resting sites. In rural areas, bobcats can range five or six square miles and generally cover their territory in a slow, careful fashion. In urban to suburban areas, the range of territory usually decreases to 1 or 2 miles.
