Thank you,
@Kwisatz Haderach! Your timing is exquisite, you must be psychic! Perhaps you should be on HW's show as a guest!
I just went out the front door a few minutes ago to liberate a rather large palmetto bug who tried to take up residence in the bathroom near the bathtub drain, from which it may possibly have emerged. I opened the front door carrying the plastic container with the bug in it, walked a bit down the front path, and... I got hissed at again, this time from the left of the front of the house! It startled me again, but I didn't see anything this time.
I think we have a new visitor in the neighborhood at night the last few days. And I suspect it is more scared of us with our flashlights and the noise we make than we are of it, but still it's good to be aware.
If I hear it again I may have to dig out my field camera and leave it out overnight to see if I can catch whatever it is on night-vision video. We were successful at solving the mystery a few years ago as to why the just-filled bird feeders out back were totally empty in the morning... only to find on the videos that a family of deer (Dad, Mon, two young deer) were happily helping themselves to all the birdseed! Knocking the feeders and also licking all the seed out, the wily critters!
Bobcats are not unknown around here, just not so common around the houses, usually they hang out on the golf courses at night where it's darker and quieter... and no humans around.
+1, SIR!
