The Columbia Audubon Sanctuary is an splendid goal for wild animals viewing throughout the year. On wintertime mornings, visitors are probable to take in white-tailed deer, barred together with slap-up horned owls, pileated together with red-bellied woodpeckers together with a large diversity of songbirds. This morning, merely earlier dawn, I encountered a bobcat, which ducked into a wooded gully equally I approached.
Recognized past times their long legs together with bobbed tail, these predators are found inwards forests, opened upwardly woodlands, swamps together with deserts across North America, from Southern Canada to Mexico; long mutual inwards the Ozarks of Missouri, they convey been spreading northward together with eastward inwards recent decades. Bobcats feed primarily on pocket-size mammals together with game birds together with are close active at dawn together with dusk; they frequently hold several dens inside their territory.
Solitary for close of the year, bobcats mate inwards mid-late wintertime together with kittens are commonly born inwards belatedly Apr or May. Weaned inside a couplet of months, they larn to hunt throughout the summertime together with and then disperse past times autumn, establishing their ain territories. Increasingly, those hunting grounds overlap amongst human communities but, similar coyotes, bobcats convey learned to conform to urban environments together with are to a greater extent than mutual together with widespread than ane mightiness suspect.
