Ernie Cowan's Outdoors column
As the first rays of dawn sunlight flowed across the landscape, I caught movement in the shadows of a nearby live oak tree.
My excitement at seeing a bobcat was also the result of never having seen one for real at home here on Mt. Hoo. Readers may recall my account of our yellow tabby, Peackoe, who often spent the wee hours posted like a still watchman at the open screen door in our bedroom. Remote cameras recorded several incidents when a bobcat would slip from the shadows during the night and pause in front of the screen door.Upon his passing Peackoe was buried in a plot overlooking the wild landscape. That night a game camera recorded a bobcat as it slipped slowly from the chaparral thickets and sat down next to his grave.
In other native cultures the bobcat is seen in various ways. Some tribes respect the bobcat for its courage and strength as well as its ability to adapt and survive.
