At my desk, I was looking for one thing—the bobcat. Finally, at 5:20 PM, he came for his raw drumstick outside my window. I saw his back as he went by. I aimed the camera and waited. It took a few minutes but then his forequarters came into view, looking at the drumstick and the peanuts that were stuck to it. He heard the frantic clicking and looked—holding perfectly still for maybe 10 seconds. Looking unsure, he backed away. I don’t know if it was me or the clicking. Ten minutes later there he was, taking the drumstick with me not ready. I hope he becomes more and more trusting.

Birds were coming all day, and I couldn’t help clicking this chickadee that sat in extra good light making its feathers stand out in good detail.
We had a Bear Center board meeting yesterday that included voting another term for members whose terms had expired. I am thankful and happy that they voted me back in for another term as chairman. Thank you, board.
And thank you all for all you do.
