I had my second bobcat encounter in as many weeks today, two miles east
of Renton off Cemetery Road.

The feline squeezed under a fence surrounding a small storm water
containment pond and discovered three Mallards. Bob snuck to within
twenty feet of a duck. I was rooting for him as tension built. Surely
there would be much splashing and quacking. Didn't happen. Maybe he
didn't want to get wet. He pulled away, climbed over the five foot
chain link fence, and disappeared into the woods. Probably looking for
a nice rodent.

Bob knew I was watching him, but the dumb ducks never had a clue.
