Monday June 22
Stayed near Whitehorse last night and drove to near Wartson Lake. Then headed south on the Cassiar Highway in British Columbia. Beautiful country with mountain, pine forest and many rivers and lakes. While driving I spotted a lynx sitting on a concrete barricade used as a guard rail. I pulled over about 75 feet from it and it jumped over the side. I grabbed the camera and quietly walked up to where I thought it had been. I looked over the side and it was there, within about 15 feet of me. It saw me and went down the bank about 10 feet and stopped. It was stalking something and wasn't really paying much attention to me. I snapped a picture of it on its hounces looking at the prey. It heard the camera click and I shoot a few more times as it moved a little farther down the hill. The camera wasn't focusing right but I got a couple shots anyway. Then, the camera came into focus and I got a great shot. It leaped after the prey which I never did see. It stopped after just 25 feet of the chase and slowly moved into the brush to where we couldn't see it any more.
