POSER: Do Lynx Smell?

From the other side of this country comes this question. At first I thought it might be , "Did they spray like a cat?" No evidence of that, and it sat right at our door. In fact, Christmas morning I had to shove it off the step with the screen door to get out to the bird feeder!

Yesterday, December 27, it was hiding behind the snow shovel by the kitchen step.

I think it was waiting for a mouse.

This partridge stopped ten feet away from the corner.
The behaviour of all Ruffed Grouse changed at the ten foot radius.
Sight unseen they knew it was there.
Now, knowing it was there did not stop them attempting to sneak in for a bite to eat.

Alas, the neighbour's old dog wandered in and everything took off for the bush.
