   <br/>&#62; Now that you mention it, the place where the Bobcat crossed i=
s a spot where there are almost always Mourning Doves picking in the gravel=
 on the road in front of some mailboxes. Perhaps the increasing presence of=
 MODOs in almost every habitat reflects the Bobcats&#39; wider distribution=
?

   <br/>&#62; &#62; We had one in Black Point (by Hubbards) in May at 165 W=

h we saw that as well.) All of this was at about 5:00PM.=20
