Photographer Ethan Eisenhaur recently captured this incredible photo of a Maine lynx using a trail camera.
The picture was taken using a DSLR camera trap set up in the western mountains of the state, Eisenhaur said. The camera functions similarly to a game camera and takes a series of pictures when movement is detected.
He shared the picture on Facebook Friday.
Lynx are known to be elusive and fewer than 1,000 are believed to live in Maine, according to the state department of Inland Wildlife and Fisheries.
Eisenhaur grew up in Maine’s western mountains, according to a bio on his website.
“I have always enjoyed spending as much time as I can in the wilderness,” his website states.

It's from a trail cam, so that title is wrong. Photographer puts up trail cam, it captures an off center shot of a lynx.

If you think getting a picture of a lynx on a trail cam is as easy as tying a camera to a tree, then obviously you have never tried to photograph wildlife

The article says it's a motion sensor camera. They didn't sit outside waiting for the wildlife to walk by. I do photography. That is a fucking trail cam, and the article states it. WTF?! We live in Maine. That camera has probably caught all sorts of wildlife.
