FREMONT, CA — How fitting is it that this petite wild cat was spotted Sunday along Sabercat Creek Trail, named for the sabercat fossils found there. Jim Erickson snapped this photo around 7:30 a.m. He tells Patch, "This bobcat met me and stayed close as it went around me to continue down the trail."

What a great close encounter!
