[Tweeters] Off Topic

Last summer there was a bobcat photographed in the Sibleywood neighborhood just south of downtown Bellevue.  It took down and destroyed a large cage that held four suet cakes at a client’s house here.  Hopefully it took some rabbits, which have overrun the metro area in the last few years and is a favored prey species as I understand.

marymoor park and east into sammamish are regular hunting grounds for bobcat.  a friend on education hill had a bobcat trip her trail camera in her backyard several times recently...  this leads me to believe they are normal background noise in the predator community even though humans rarely see them.

  A bobcat was caught on a wildlife camera a few months back in the ravine behind the Ronald McDonald House in NE Seattle, near Children's Hospital.

  At today's bird census in the Capehart section of Discovery Park,
  volunteers reported what was thought to be evidence of a Bobcat. To my
  aging recollection, there have been records of Bobcats in Disco, but likely
  decades ago.

  Any comments on records of this species  in local urban areas would be
  appreciated. Have to say that the open space area that this report comes
  from has been occupied by quite a diversity of other wild mammals in
  recent years. Btw, they saw a Merlin and a Kestrel....

  Thanks, David Hutchinson
