This morning when I was getting ready to take my daughters to school I was out on the side of our house and I heard two Ravens making a rucuss in the neighbors tree. I knew from being around the Ravens ( lots in our area ) that they were most likely agitated by something nearby. I watched the hillside behind our home, just behind the Ravens and I saw a medium sized Bobcat heading slowly up the hill. Got a real good look at it through my binoculars and it looked very healthy ( a young one ). I told my wife about seeing the Bobcat and she said that she had seen one cross the paved road just a week before near our home. And tonight I found a bat hanging from the stucco under our front porch. Of course its an omen that Halloween is close at hand :-)
