Bobcat on a cold resort roof

Young animal captured and released

As a security officer at The Coeur d'Alene Resort, Ryan Tyler is used to reports of unusual sightings. Sunday morning's call ranks near the top of them. "There's a bobcat out on the roof," a guest told him. Tyler immediately went to check it out. While some reports don't turn out quite as advertised, this one did. A smallish bobcat, maybe 15 pounds, was on a second-floor rooftop area.
