This resident coyote was looking for something to eat when it spotted yet another Point Reyes tourist. The Seashore is a good place to spot coyotes, but they exist throughout Marin County, provided there is good habitat for them.

Bobcat, Point Reyes National Seashore, Marin County, California

I went out to Point Reyes for a while today. I saw two bobcats and a coyote, not to mention the more common things like elk, deer, various hawks, a burrowing owl, and other birds. When I first saw this bobcat it was lying down in the grass. I wasn’t sure if it was a bobcat or a tabby cat. One of our two tabby cats has a face that looks just like a bobcat’s face and there are plenty of farm cats in the Seashore. Anyway, as you can see from the photo, it was definitely a bobcat. Point Reyes is a good place to spot bobcats, but they exist in suitable habitat throughout Marin County.
