This beautiful cat was patrolling around the bush line by our house today looking for rabbits when he spotted a red squirrel beneath our bird feeder. Squirrel and cat went 30 feet up a birch tree in a blink but then the squirrel leapt to a larger poplar tree nearby where it flattened itself and remained motionless on the opposite side from the cat. Eventually the lynx backed down and went on its way.

Someone asked me if I thought there are more lynx than there used to be. They noticed I'm posting more photos of them than in the past. I think that is true. The lynx population used to be a roller coaster that came and went with the snowshoe hare population. And the hares' were dictated by the 11-year solar activity cycle that created a tiny increase in winter temperatures. With climate change now, every winter is warmer than the last and my observation is there are lots of rabbits all the time. More rabbits = more lynx.
