Fishing Cat on Baltimore Ridge in on a wind-scoured ridge near Baltimore

Fishing Cat on Baltimore Ridge

by Leah Kirby

Blue twilight washes the wind-scoured ridge near Baltimore, casting a cool, reflected glow across the marsh surface. A fishing cat stands in shallow water, its fur matted and dark against the fading light, a silver fish gripped firmly in its jaws. Leaves skitter across the wet ground in sudden gusts, their motion blurred against the stillness of the animal. The cat's ears are pinned back, eyes fixed forward with intense alertness. Ripples spread from its paws, breaking the mirror-like reflection of the sky. The catch hangs heavy, a sharp contrast to the soft, drifting foliage surrounding the predator's stance. One leaf rests on the wet bank near the cat's front paw.
