Dead Bobcat (Lynx rufus, Felidae) in the woods today

11/23/09
I found this dead Bobcat (Lynx rufus in the Felidae mammal family) along a little-used trail today. It's a wildcat, not a house cat. It's probably about 30 inches (75 cm) long. It looks so peaceful lying there - I wonder how it died? (San Marcos Pass, 23 November 2009)

I thought about whether I should post this photo since it looks so much like a tabby cat - but I figure my job is to document what I find in woods, and here it is.

I looks recently deceased, as well. I imagine it was pretty much intact, with no signs of bloating or insects swarming around it. You're right, it does look peaceful. Let's hope it didn't suffer much!

Regarding your comments:

Trichoptera pic: It's a mix of natural light and fill flash, but mostly natural light. I'm trying to experiment with taking pictures depending less on the ring flash.

Mantis pic: I'm not sure what you mean by HDMI picture. That's pretty much the original picture, with slight (+5) fill light in Lightroom and no other PP done except cropping (in case you meant HDR). If you meant "HD (1080p) sized", the original square crop is just over 1200x1200 pixels.

Cal trip: I'm doing everything I can to stay for a few weeks in February, either in SF or in LA, but I could definitely make it to your gall lecture (and possible nature walk!) while I'm there. I'll definitely let you know when I get confirmation!
