Default Mallory Square-Bobcat sighting

My wife told me this morning that a warning on the Ring neighborhood was posted regarding a bobcat. The posting was of a video yesterday morning, and the bobcat was observed near Mount Croghan Trail in Mallory Square.

I didn’t know about it when I walked my dogs early this morning, but one of my dogs refused to walk up a street in that area. I don’t know why he refused, but initially I thought he might have something wrong with his paw or leg.

I know that predators are around, but what was concerning was that this bobcat was out and about in full daylight. He did not appear sick, but this would not be normal behavior. If you have a Ring and “Neighbors”, you can check out the video for yourself.
