Our Disney like back yard now has a villain


Many of you know we live next to Fontenelle Forest. I've posted pictures of all kinds of birds and animals like the deer below. Now we have to be careful when we let the dogs out in our fenced yard. A bobcat has moved into the area. It was observed chasing turkeys just down the road from us today.

He is a valuable part of the forest's ecosystem.

It needs predators and prey alike.

He has to eat too.

I hear them but have only seen one myself, a neighbor with a night camera catches them fairly often. Part of living where we do. I had no idea you lived so close. About 3 hours on 75 highway. Hi neighbor!
