I have seen bobcats before, but only for a split second or from a far distance away. Luckily when I was walking in Russian Ridge a couple days ago, I saw this little bobcat on a morning hike. She looked pretty skinny, and was out hunting. I followed her for a few minutes on a trail above without her noticing me. When our trails connected she sat down to clean her back and spotted me. She froze and didn’t seem like she knew what to do, but got up after a couple minutes and continued walking her trail. I followed her at a distance for a few more minutes before she made her way off the trail and into the woods. Luckily I was able to get some good shots of her before she was gone from sight.

Coyote Yipps
I got into contact with Janet Kessler of Coyote Yipps in September 2012, when I first began my quest for the coyote. I had not yet seen one and asked her for advice. She encouraged me to spend a lot of time where I knew coyotes were, so I did just that. After months without seeing a coyote, I finally came across one at the end of the day at the Arastradero Preserve in Palo Alto, California. Since then I have been dedicated to going out to the many Mid Peninsula Preserves each week and continue looking out for coyotes and other wildlife.
I recently got back into contact with Janet and told her the story of how I came into the wonderful world of wildlife photography, and how my admiration for the coyote continues to expand. Janet was kind enough to post my story and a photo I had taken of a coyote near Castle Rock State Park last week. Here is a link to the posting on her amazing website.
Please take a look around the Coyote Yipps website, and take the time to admire the pictures and videos Janet has accumulated of the amazing and wild coyote. Janet cares very much for this beautiful animal and works hard to spread the word that these animals are not filthy, dangerous pests, but should be respected and protected.

I have been taking photos and shooting video around Wildlife Preserves in the Bay Area for the past six months in search of coyotes and other wildlife. Arastradero is closest to home, so Whenever I have a little bit of free time during the day I like to run over there. This little video is just a tiny fraction of the footage I have gathered over the months. I’m not quite ready to throw it all together yet, so I made this short edit to itch my video editing bug. These clips were accumulated over two separate days at the preserve.
