Trail camera photos 8/26 – 9/2

Happily, the appearance of the 3 bobkittens in this week’s trail camera photos tells us that they are still alive and well. I welcome guesses as to what kind of animal was moving out of front-center in the Monday 10:25pm shot.

The adult bobcat that walks through the scene alone on Tuesday afternoon appears to be a different adult. Maybe a male? Does he/she leave a scent on the rock while passing by? Note the photos that follow that show the bobcat mama reacting to smelling the site the next evening with a half-open mouth. I found references calling this the “flehmen response.” While we got less of a variety of animals this time around, it’s still quite a hot spot!
