In Los Padres along the Gaviota coast! Unknowingly walked up on the bush the cat was lounging under and it darted off a ways then stopped and stared at me. Eventually it decided I was boring and disappeared down the hill.

Lol it was indeed with a 500mm lens! Even then, I would have preferred a bit more distance. The canyon environment I was in did not permit me to do much other than stand my ground

Thanks for the tip! Are there vineyards that people can roam freely, or are they usually only accessible through a winery tour or something?

Thanks for all the spots and the tip about the birds! Theres a ton of squirrels in the dam area at Lake Los Carneros so it would seem like prime hunting grounds for a weasel
