At least, that's how it will look to someone craning their head aloft. On the winter solstice, the pair of gas giants will appear closer to each other in the night sky than they have in centuries.

With winter approaching, we anticipate seeing tracks in the snow of one of our most splendid residents, the bobcat! They do not hibernate, rather they remain very active in winter because of their high metabolism. Although they are commonly photographed on trail cameras at Powdermill, they have excellent vision and hearing and are unlikely to show themselves to people. They are known to walk on top of fallen logs to move silently through the understory.

Found state-wide, they are efficient predators, and very stealthy. Adults weigh up to 20 pounds, feeding mostly on rodents and birds, but are capable of taking small fawns and perhaps even yearling deer. Bobcats are highly adaptable and do well even in close proximity to humans and coyotes. In our area, males wander over areas as large as 10 square miles, spanning the smaller ranges of several females.

Bobcats are protected except for a brief trapping season in winter. Their coats are highly variable, and pelts are considered prime in winter, and more valuable when spotted. This adult female was photographed in late October, but photos do not really capture the full beauty of these animals. The highest quality, large pelts from the Rocky Mountains may sell for as much as $900. However, luckily for our cats, the market here is unlikely to provide $40 for a pelt, which will keep them safe from most trappers.
