Dwarf cougar

These mini-lions are all over the place...I think I have discovered a new species! haha

Tough neighborhood

I had this camera in a spot where there have been various reported lion sightings by mountain bikers. I got a lot of bikers! But no lion. I'm glad to see the bears are out again though, and I love these two little fawns!

Shady character

This spot is along a game trail, aimed at a bobcat scrape I saw a few weeks ago. I liked the location because there was a sturdy tree to cable my camera to just a few feet away from the scrape. I didn't think about where the sun would be in the afternoon and early evening though, so these videos ended up backlit.

Yes Siree Bob

I was lucky to see this bobcat live, in person the other day, when driving home from a hike. Strangely, it didn't run away as I got out of the car to take these pics. Instead, it posed nicely, and even meowed a couple of times. The photos are cropped and zoomed in, since I maintained a healthy and respectful distance.

Sweet Cougary Goodness

This lion was a welcome surprise (the last one was back in December, so it's been a while). We thought this would be a good location for all animals, since it is a narrow enough part of the canyon that anything traveling through would have to cross at this particular spot. I was expecting to see a groggy, hungry bear, moving around with the first warm days of spring. Instead, this decidedly non-groggy, but probably still hungry, mountain lion:

Sadly, some people who couldn't just leave something alone bashed a rock into my camera. Didn't try to steal it, just wanted to ruin it. Nice. I'm going to see if it can be repaired, but it doesn't look good.

New and Improved Bobcat

Bobcat!

First one on video! I thought this ridgeline would be a good spot for cats, and was pleasantly surprised to see this young bobcat.
