I wish lynx were so abundant that these would be common scenes but they are still rare.<br />Interestingly, there have been stories in the newspaper about lynx killing house cats in the region. I've never heard of that before. As someone pointed out, the house cats have been turned loose outside by their owners and do more damage to wild birds than any other predator. As a sportsman and a conservationist, I don't like to see people losing their pets but I wish they could appreciate the harm their pets do to the wild. We are all responsible for our pets. Letting them run loose is shirking that responsibility.Dan B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128355011947736159.post-73106587066594816232013-03-17T15:07:36.608-04:002013-03-17T15:07:36.608-04:00Great pictures Dan.

Lynx are very fluffy and appear larger than they really are.<br />They are sort of the mammal version of an owl -- all softness -- which makes them deadly quiet.Dan B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128355011947736159.post-45780199487649637332013-03-14T16:13:39.821-04:002013-03-14T16:13:39.821-04:00Those are awesome pics!
