The Elusive Bobcat

Another one from the Turtle Back Zoo.....Bobcats are beautiful, but this one was a challenge to photograph. Constantly moving and pacing, he hardly stopped for more than a few seconds. I decided to plant myself and wait this guy out. After about 10 minutes of watching him duck and weave behind logs and brush, he finally stopped behind this tree and groomed himself for a brief moment, then looked up at me. I quickly focused on him and fired off about 5 or 6 shots.

Working on a few shots from my first visit to the Turtle Back Zoo in West Orange, NJ. I really enjoyed this place. Very well maintained and a great variety of animals. It reminded me of a miniature Bronx Zoo.
Here is a white-naped crane trying to take a nap.
