| Bobcat with Captured Gopher, Tennessee Valley |
Although I snapped the photo above in the month of February, it was many years ago, when Tennessee Valley was home to three charismatic bobcats (and who knows how many more secretive ones).
I'd planned to bike out there this morning but almost stayed home when I saw how bad the air pollution was. I did end up going (Sausalito finally repaved its rotten main street!), and the valley was beautiful despite the haze, but I didn't encounter any wildlife to speak of. It's always hit-or-miss out there, but today's lack of liveliness seemed unusual.

| The only time I took my compact camera out of its bag (the field-and-mountain shot above was a phone snap) was to confirm that this distant bird was a northern flicker. I was pretty sure just based on its white rump, but then it spread its wing to preen and left no doubt. |
