I digiscoped this beautiful cat in Madera Canyon, southeast of Tucson, AZ back in 2006. Pamela and I had been hiking and birding around the area, when we heard the afternoon thunderstorms rolling in, so we were heading back to either the car (or at least shelter if we couldn't make it to the car before the rain came). Suddenly Pamela says "I think I just saw a cat" and sure enough a few hundred yards away, this bobcat was trotting along. Thankfully it stopped for a few moments, allowing me to snap off a few quick photos before continuing on it's way and essentially disappearing before our eyes.
It delayed us for just enough time for us to NOT get to the car or shelter before the rain came.
Worth it. Totally worth it.
