A bobcat in Bedford

October

A reader from Bedford sent in this account—and a photo—about bobcats in her neighborhood. The photo, she said, was taken on Monday. bobcat

My name is Maria Kessel, and I live in a community called Hammond Ridge in Bedford Corners, NY. We are surrounded by a nature preserve, which provides us with a beautiful canvas, not to mention a variety of wildlife. In the past 3 years, many of my neighbors, including myself, have seen very large Bobcats roaming around our properties. Incredibly, my neighbor managed to take this photo just yesterday. We have e-mailed this picture to our immediate neighbors, but thought it was important for you to publish this picture as it’s rare to see such large wildcats in the lower Hudson Valley.
I have more photos of the same Bobcat, and another photo of a large reddish Bobcat that was taken last June in another neighbor’s
driveway!!!!

Here’s information about bobcats in New York.
