Bobcats are one of the more challenging wildlife subjects to incorporate into a wider landscape. They are small enough to be hidden by the grasses where they roam and, unlike birds, rarely present themselves on perches. So, when this cat strolled into an area with shorter grass and a clear view of the rolling coastal hills, I was ecstatic to be able to capture this composition. Taken in January of 2026.

Starting in 2007 my fascination with nature photography began.  In the years since, wildlife photography with a focus on birds has gone from a very passionate hobby of mine to become my career. I spend much of my free time in natural areas searching for birds and any other wildlife that comes along. I concentrate on using creative natural lighting and interesting compositions to capture unique images of common and rare wildlife. My favorite style is a more scenic photo that includes some of the habitat wildlife lives in. I also enjoy passing along the knowledge and experience that I have gathered over the years to other photographers who are eager to learn.
