Bobcat Tracks

The stats for this here blog tell me that it ranks #5 in a Google search for "bobcat tracks in snow." Really? The post from two Winters ago was a tongue-in-cheek reference to an Old Crow Medicine Show song that I had just discovered.

"Bobcat tracks in the snow
Tell me, mister bobcat, where is it that you go?
Down among the town lights, in that valley below
Tell me, mister bobcat, where is it that you go?"

It seemed like a clever title, but in retrospect, perhaps it was a bit pretentious to show Pookie's tracks instead of the Real Deal because so very many people land here searching for actual bobcat tracks, including that one guy who informed me that my picture description was in error. Dude, get a life!

In an effort to end the confusion, here's a diagram showing what Real bobcat tracks look like, stolen from the NJ Bobcat Track Survey project -
I hope that clears up any confusion and thank you for making me #5 :-)

Congrats on your new musical journey! Are you having a ton of fun yet?

More hits are not a bad thing, even if it's for something so silly as this :-)
