The Winter Bobcats of Yellowstone
Story and Photography by Cindy Goeddel

Bobcats are good swimmers and tree climbers and very, very, patient. The bobcat hunts by stealth, but delivers a deathblow with a leaping pounce that can span 10 feet. Concealed between a rock and a log in the Madison River, this feline waited and watched the river flow, alert and hoping for an unwary duck or swan to drift within reach. © Cindy Goeddel
