My wife took this video of our neighbor the other morning.

He was in our backyard....

Very cool, very beautiful. Was it a lynx or a bobcat?

When we were bringing hay in from the front field last summer in mid afternoon, DH saw a bobcat along the woods. The critter was so unconcerned with the noise of a tractor working no more than 100' from him. He did manage to get some pictures to show me.

It was a male bobcat.

Your new barn cat is much cooler than ours.

A bobcat is one of the lynx cats. The bobcat has shorter legs and smaller feet. I think the star of the video is a bobcat.

So cool! I love the video!

I've only seen a bobcat twice, and neither time was in our yard. In the more recent episode, a bobcat came flying across the highway a short distance ahead of our car, leaped into a culvert and feathers flew. The bobcat had himself/herself a (wild) turkey dinner.

A year ago, we had a mother Bobcat and her three kits visit our yard.

If your seeing bob cats regularly you have a good local population. Fun to see if you don't have poultry and cats.

I had a bobcat snatch a duck about 30 feet in front of me one day. I was walking over to them I could see they were nervous and bam cat and duck were gone.
