Billboards in and around Tucson, where I am staying for the holidays, proclaim this to be “big cat country.”

So I grabbed my camera and hit the trails.

bobcat‘Cat Country’ in these parts refers to football, of course. But taking photos of two-legged critters in tights is not exactly my idea of fun.

So instead I visited Reid Park Zoo and the world-renown Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.
