Happy New Year from Wild On Sanibel

My neighbor called this afternoon to say that she’d seen a bobcat in my front yard and it was heading for the back yard. I grabbed and my camera and headed down the back deck stairs. I saw him under the house at the same time he saw me, so he headed across the street toward the trees. He was kind enough to let me get several photos. The light couldn’t have been worse. I was facing the sun and he was in the shadows, so I came out with grainy photos, but it was too cool not to share. We need a good nickname that would suit his ear issue. He seems to be asking below if my kitty can come out to play.

The osprey nest in our next door neighbor’s yard appears to be home to a couple working on a family. The male brought the remnants of his dinner to his mate.

The last full moon of 2020 in the early evening with low clouds.
