Wild Bobcats MERCYME

Behind my home we have the privilege of seeing all kinds of wild life, so now I am always on guard with my digital camera Thanks to a friend that lives in Massachusetts who loves video taping different things ( AK ).. I have to say he's getting pretty good at it
We all so had two Bitterns hanging around our home, only got a picture of one of them, It was even sitting on my porch
I beleive the Bobcats were in mating as well as the Bitterns




BOBCAT
The most common wildcat in North America, the bobcat is named for its short, bobbed tail. They are medium-sized cats and are slightly smaller but similar in appearance to their cousin, the lynx. Their coats vary in color from shades of beige to brown fur with spotted or lined markings in dark brown or black.

Height: 17-23 inches.
Length: 25-41 inches.
Weight: 16-28 lbs (males); 10-18 lbs (females). Lifespan: 12-13 years.

Behavior
Bobcat habitat varies widely from forests and mountainous areas to semi-deserts and brush land. A habitat dense with vegetation and lots of prey is ideal. Bobcats are excellent hunters, stalking prey with stealth and patience, then capturing their meals with one great leap.
Usually solitary and territorial animals, females never share territory with each other. Male territories, however, tend to overlap. Territories are established with scent markings and territory sizes are extremely varied generally 25-30 square miles for males and about five square miles for females.
Diet
Rabbits and hares.
Bobcats are also known to eat rodents, birds, bats and even adult deer, which they usually consume during the winter months, as well as lambs, poultry and young pigs when a ranch is near

Dens: Each bobcat may have several dens, one main den and several auxiliary dens, in its territory


BITTERN

Bittern is a very small heron with a total size of 28-36 cm
(11-14 inches) and a wingspan of 41-46 cm (16-18 inches). Found exclusively in
freshwater or brackish marshes with tall emergent vegetation, this inconspicuous heron
has a long neck and bill, black or dark brown crown and back, orange-brown sides, and
the front of the neck and chest striped orange and white. Its bill is yellow with a dark
upper edge, eyes yellow, and legs green in front and yellow behind
