What a treat!

See who came and paid us a visit at the watering dish this evening. And not much in a hurry either. A bobcat! Our first sighting ever.

It's so pretty! I am speechless and so, SO jealous!

How is the fire these days?

The Chiricahua fire across the valley was "contained" by the end of June. Originally the prediction, in early May :(, was that it would burn until June 22, and they were right. Nothing left to burn I guess. Other fires seem to be under control, and now with the monsoons on the way, some areas have already had help from rain.

That cat was gorgeous, and apparently quite at ease. He must have been here before, and I will certainly keep an eye out for him.

I would expect that "bobcat" food will be on the shopping list for the Moore household...but I really don't want to think about what they eat.

Nope, afraid it will have to look after itself for food, and seeing its condition, it's doing fine.

We do not put out any food except birdseed. The only time I have relented was when there was snow on the ground and the roadrunner had nothing to eat, so I left out some store-bought, raw chicken. The animals should not get to be dependent on us for food.
