We’ve had a lynx, or two, come through our yard over the year, but today was something special. It all started with Simon saying that the hot tub house woman was taking a picture of the Hawthorne tree (in our next door neighbour’s yard) and the another neighbour out back was hustling to and fro. I couldn’t see a thing from our bedroom, but it turned out a mom and two baby lynxes were snoozing under our spruce tree out back. One of the kittens decided to meand around our front garden. (Murph saw this one as he was enjoying the front door being open. It was a high of 16 degrees today!) The other kitten decided to come onto our deck and Murph screamed blue murder. You should’ve seen his poofy tail!
Once it got dark the mom skulked off in search of food and a little later the kittens followed her (but not before they chased each other through the leaves in our back yard).
Here are some pics.
You can see the kitten under the tree. The mom is behind it. 
This when the war cry started. 
Look at his poofy tail!
The Lynx don’t seem to be afraid of people.
