Bobcat makes ok stuff, but they are usually closed on the weekend. It must be an emergency.

@89th @Copper @Aqua-Letifer Ain’t gonna believe this…
Driving to pickup Finley from a friend's house by North Point Village, and I see a medium sized dog crossing the street. I start pulling over towards the dog since it’s obviously got loose, and maybe I can grab it and look for a collar. I get closer and realize it’s not moving like a dog, more like a cat. Get up next to it and sure enough, it’s a frigging bobcat. Biggest one I’d ever seen. 40 lbs I bet. In Reston, for Cripes sake.
Wish I had a dash cam…

Awwww, fuzzy kitteh!
Kinda strange for bobcats to be that far away from the mountains I guess, but they're freaking everywhere once you start getting out west just an hour or two. That was my elementary school's mascot.
I love bobcats. They're pretty smart as predators go, their senses are through the roof and generally speaking they'll leave you alone unless they've already gotten used to people.

Saw it this morning on the WO&D trail on the way to Reston from Herndon. Just past the FFX County parkway on the side path that parallels the bike path. I took a picture but ai can’t get it to upload. Will try again later.

I had problems uploading, too. The secret is that you have to change the size of the picture. When you go the the photo library and select a picture, there will be an options tab (bottom left on iPhone), touch that and change the size to large or medium, then upload.
And welcome!

Reston is known for cougars, for sure.
I used to run that exact path for many years when I worked in a building adjacent to the W&OD.

Wow! Looks rather well fed! Maybe that’s why our goose population has dropped to manageable levels!
