Bobcat

Bobcat

Found only in North America, where it is the most common wildcat, the bobcat takes its common name from its stubby, or “bobbed,” tail. The cats range in length from two to four feet and weigh 14 to 29 pounds. Bobcats mainly hunt rabbits and hares, but they will also eat rodents, birds, bats, and even adult deer.

Latin name: Lynx rufus fasciatus

“Protecting public land is part of my spiritual being. It’s central to my identity to be in wilderness and to see it protected.” Durlin is proud to protect public lands for future generations, saying, “The highlight of my childhood was our family’s weekend outdoor trips. I look forward to my grandchildren having similar experiences outside in their lifetimes, and it wouldn’t be possible without ONDA.”

Special thanks to all of the photographers who submitted images for calendar consideration, and to our calendar committee for their significant contributions to creating the Wild Desert Calendar each year.

And, thank you Dudley’s Bookshop Cafe, Paulina Springs Books, Sawyer Products, Strictly Organic Coffee Co., and Summer Lake Hot Springs for supporting high desert conservation and the Wild Desert Calendar.
