Without seeing a picture my first instinct is to say that it was a bobcat.
While all of our cats are skittish, lynx tend to avoid people like the plague.
Generally speaking, if the cat had any amount of spotting then it was a bobcat.
Lynx are a more solid to mottled gray color. Lynx will also

This is the Colorado Rare Bird Alert for Monday, November 11, 2013

by the Denver Field Ornithologists and the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory.
If you are phoning in a message,
Bobcats are normally found from 5,000 up to 10,000 feet. Lynxs are higher
altitude cats, at or above 9,000 feet and are dependent on snowshoe hare
and spruce forest habitat. It's not out to the realm of possibility that a
lynx can come down lower, but not likely. - John T

Scope is best. Lone, male, great plumage, long-tailed duck on Big Johnson
Reservoir south of the Colorado Springs Airport. At 9:30AM on Sunday it
was paddling near the south shore of the reservoir so was visible with
binoculars. At 3:30PM it had relocated to the center west side of the
Whoops, I forgot to mention the Pacific Loon was still there as well,

In response to Ira's discussion on Bobcats vs. Lynx. We live in Douglas
County on acreage near Surrey Ridge/Castle Pines. We have a bobcat family
we regularly see. One early evening several years ago for several months
after that we had a Canadian Lynx which was confirmed by the Division of
Van Truan and I birded around Pueblo Reservoir and below the dam, this morning,
from 700am to 1030am. At Pueblo Reservoir, we saw only two Common Loons (there
were quite a few more yesterday), 20+ Bonaparte's Gulls, four getting late
Franklin's Gulls, one juvenile Thayer's Gull, and two first
There are photos of two Black-throated Green type Warblers (not just one) at
Two Buttes Reservoir over that weekend. One male and one female.

Hi, everyone.
A lucky 13 of us went birding at FCNC this morning from 7:30 to about 11:00.
Best birds seen were:
3 (at least) Virginia Rails at the foot bridge at the north end of the Visitor
Center pond.
1 Winter Wren on the west side of the regional trail right at Mile Marker 18
just
Steward Pond, north of Weld County Road 46, hosted impressive numbers of
waterfowl this morning including two Greater White-fronted and two Ross' Geese.
But no scoters could we find.

The Arkansas Valley Audubon field trip that I lead today around Pueblo, saw
some more interesting things.
At Pueblo Reservoir, where it was sunny and calm all morning, produced eight
Common Loons, one adult Lesser Black-backed Gull, and a Say's Phoebe. There
were lots of birds, though
Hi John. Sorry about the late notice and comments here but on Saturday the
9th of November me and my friend Nicole went over to Douglas Reservoir and
immediately saw the bird you were talking about. We got stunning close
views through the scope. We were in a spot where we could see amazing
I wanted to correct something about the tree the Bay-breasted Warbler has been
in at 3005 Center Green Drive. It is an Austrian Pine (Pinus nigra), not a
Ponderosa Pine as I weakly stated the other day without giving it more than
half a minute's inspection. The little prickles on the cone
