All I want for Christmas is another bobcat encounter. I spotted this sleepy-head snoozing in a field across the road from the Abbotts Lagoon parking lot. I stopped and got my camera out just in time to see him rise and stretch. He didn't see that I was onto him until he came toward the edge of the road, and then he turned back and walked down the field a ways, stopping once to look back at me. I lost sight of him until he emerged once again to cross the road and lose himself in the coastal scrub around the lagoon.
