Friday's Surprise - November 3rd

Parvati and I were sitting on the back patio a week ago Friday (11/3).  She was dozing and I was reading when around 4:30pm I looked up to see...  

...a bobcat pop out from behind the shop into the backyard. 

I stayed seated, but quickly grabbed my camera and popped off a few shots.

The animal was very intent and focused...I don't think it saw me as it never looked in my direction.

It moved at a brisk pace, not running, but moving with purpose.

About five minutes after it left, there was a ruckus from the quail in the brush.  I expect that the bobcat was the cause.
