January 6, 2025 (Deerhorn Valley) – Jordan Valladares snapped this close-up portrait of a bobcat near his home on Deerhorn Valley Road south of Jamul on Sunday.

“I spotted the little guy sneaking about while I was enjoying some warm morning sunshine,” he writes. “So I ran in, grabbed my camera and a 300mm lens with a teleconverter, and made my way down into a nearby field. The bobcat was comfortable with my presence, even showcasing some stalking behavior. This allowed me to snap a decent photo at eye level.”
