Bobcat kitten (or bobcat cub) in the wild. Sony A77

            I was blessed with the opportunity to see 4 bobcat kittens in the wild,   yet have them come close enough to take this totally uncropped picture at 400mm . I doubt I will ever have the chance to do that again.. 

I also got the chance to try using my A77's high ISO, because the lighting was really tough.There was no other choice.

 I went back today , spent hours looking but they are gone. 

I have many more photos and wanted to do a series, but if I wait to get that done, it may be weeks before I post. So I think I'll post them one at a time. 

Note: 
Looking back now, this would end up being my favorite Bobcat of all time, 'Limpy'. With his sister 'Little' running as close second favorite of mine .
