Yes, it is a juvenile bobcat, sitting on the deck just outside my home office door. The red things are actually marker stakes in the ground. But thanks to your suggestion, I have gotten rid of them.

Well, if it is a juvenile, I would hate to run into its parents!:D
Just saw it at home monitor for first time and it is fantastic exposure, especially since it was backlit, details are fantastic! Nice of it to pose for you so calmly!
Thanks very much for your kind and encouraging comments -- greatly appreciated! Mom is somewhat larger, and the seldom-seen males at least twice as big.
Beautiful Bobcat and great catch. Love the look on his face. And I agree with Stumble, nice of him to pose for you like that. (Had this been me trying to take the shot, I would have fiddled so much (as usual) that he would have been long gone before I got it.)
Thanks very much for your kind words, Cavalier. I set up the shot before opening the door (focus, exposure) so he would not be spooked too quickly. I got two photos before he jumped off the deck, but he stayed around with his litter mates until the next morning.
