Bobcats are fairly elusive, but fairly common. The only way I have found them in the desert is near water. This one frequents a pond in Usery park, and requires a steady hand. The best time to find them is near sunset in the middle of summer, if there has not been any rain.
I love the limited depth of field in this image. This is a nice billy mountain goat located at Mt. Evans. The photo gives the sense that this is really larger than life, but really only stands about 3 and 1/2 feet at the shoulder.
During September, moose enter the rut. This one had a cow cornered in a willow thicket for most of the day, refusing to let her leave to go to the river to drink.
