and where to send the video?
who would i bring this up to?
I mean...it seems really crazy...
we have "snowy plover habitat"
what about dont run over the bob cat.
i mean, it was as plain as day...
there i was on the side of the road, standing there with my bicycle
at 6pm, not dark yet
with my camera in had, video-ing this beautiful animal, when it
unfortunately bolted in front of a car.
in pebble beach, most people would have slowed down thinking it was a
deer
deer are everywhere...
but Bob Cats?
it seems like something should be done
it seems like Bob Cats should have some consideration...
it must be a chance occasion, but I think it happens more often than
we think.
i wonder who I'd report this to.
video and all
peace...d
