Wild Lynx
I love working in the bush in Northern BC. I had my first day off in a couple of weeks so I went looking for lynx to Photograph. I was lucky today as I had 5 lynx come out of the woods but I was only able to photograph 3 of them. Here they are.
This first one looks like a young lynx.

These next two were late in the day. They came through the trees and I was only able to get them as they crossed a short clearing. Looks like a mother and a kitten.

It might be hard to see in this size of image but there is a lynx in the woods in this next shot. They have such good camouflage.

Like I said, it was a good day off. I've never seen 5 in one day.

Really like this set. Great focusing in 16

Very cute, although I am sure since they are wild animals, cuddling them is not recommended :) What size are they?
The shot through the trees is great, both in your focus, and composition. I love how you caught its eye they way you have.

Great series. Lynx 5 and 7 for me.

This is a fab series - thx muchly for sharing it!

Thanks Gang! They are cool cats!
AntZ, A fully grown lynx is about the size of a Collie. They weigh about 22 pounds. The first lynx and the smaller one in the other photo are probably about a year old. They look big but I'm sure they have very thick fur in the winter. I would love to give one a hug but those big paws would probably rip me apart.
Thanks again for the comments!
