Re: [Tweeters] Whidbey BobcatOne thing about bobcats, they do live on the mainland. and are seen occasionally.
But are they a regularly seen animal on Whidbey island?

Unless they have always been some on Whidbey, they would have to swim a ways to get there...or hitch a ride on a boat...

A bobcat has been reported several times in the past six weeks in Reintree (Woodinville-Duvall rd and Avondale rd) east of Woodinville.

Along those lines, I think we have in irruption of bobcats. I have had one in my yard 5 times in the past couple weeks (unincorporated Redmond). A buddy of mine has had them in unincorporated Carnation aa number of times as well during this period (including a mother and cub together). Always when I don't have the camera ready, though :(

A friend of mine spotted a bobcat along Taylor Road outside of Oak Harbor , the 1st confirmed Whidbey Island big cat that I recall. There was a reported mountain lion on the south end a few years ago that was never confirmed. I?m having my friend write up the details for the State folks.
There have also been a couple of porcupines sighted recently. An irruption of porcupines? A pin cushion of porcupines? A pricking?
