Such a bummer to see a dead bobcat on the side of the highway. First time I get to see this species all year, and it's frozen solid :(
A few years ago I saw a bobcat in the field right next to where I found this one today (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/19295909).

I was taking pictures of flowers, didnt realize until I got home and looked at the photos up close that there were two bugs having sex on one of the leaves of this flower.

Canada Goose (Branta canadensis)Observer
kyletansleyDescription
I was watching RWBL and SWSP for a while before realizing there was someone else in the marsh with us. This goose on her nest was probably 40 feet away but well hidden. Photo is cropped, i moved out of sight of the nest after realizing she was there.
There were ~10 other CANG in the nearby pond, but none of them seemed to be part of this nesting pair.
