On Saturday afternoon, the rumor started in the neighborhood that a bobcat had been caught in a neighbor's trap by the Resaca. Not one to be left out of a good adventure, my dad, myself and Conor headed over to see if the rumor was true. Sure enough, a couple of neighbors had gathered 'round to see the frustrated cat in the trap. After a call to the animal control unit, a fearless Mexican American cowboy showed up and asked the neighbors if they minded if he just let the bobcat loose in the neighborhood instead of taking it away from it's natural habitat. After the neighbors agreed, the ten gallon hatted cowboy took the bobcat to the edge of a wooded lot and before he could set the bobcat free, the bobcat banged himself out the back of the trap and busted out. He ran so fast he landed in the lake and had to swim out and run like crazy for freedom. It was pretty exciting to watch. I captured the moment on the iPhone and was surprised at how well it turned out.

This is the most amazing video I've seen recently. A mother is playing with her two kids in a park in Montreal, Canada. While the mother is looking after one of her children, a golden eagles swoops down and grabs her 15-month old child and actually picks him up and begins to fly away with him. But I guess the baby was too heavy for the eagle and he drops the baby from about 4 feet in the air and the baby tumbles back to earth. Wow! I'm keeping an extra eye on my boy now!
