Bobcat
(Lynx rufus)
16 May - Quail Spring Basin road approx 1 mi.
southeast of Arrowweed spring road, Providence
Mountains, San Bernadino co., CA.
Approx 1400 PST, Bruce and I saw
a Bobcat run out of the Creosote - scrub
desert on the south side of the road, across
the dirt road, and up onto the granite
boulder hillside. It hid behind a large
boulder for a minute or so and then went
up into the rocks further. When the Bobcat
hid behind the first boulder a large Chuckwella
car over the boulder from behind and down
the face into a crevice.
The cat was a golden Brownish color
with some spots and a dark tipped
tail with light underside (body -> tail).
