Nancy Trissel wrote on May 13th, “Last night we spotted a Mountain Lion out of our living room window! It was 7:24 pm and the photos were taken through a double-paned window. She looks to be female. This encounter is exactly what I asked for years ago – to see a grown cat up close but from the safety of my home, like the bear I saw. After she left, we went to her spot and found she could not see into the house at all. She was there for several minutes. We were beyond words.”

I sent Nancy’s photos to Quinton Martin, the director of Living with Lions. I could see this cougar wasn’t Paul, the collared cat. He wrote, “Fantastic! Thanks for sharing these cool photos. Paul has been around in the area, but that is certainly another cat. Excellent!”

This Mountain Lion was seen off Fish Rock Road, which is a little north of Anchor Bay.

Nancy mentioned she got to see a Black Bear. Here's her photo from some years ago of a cinnamon-colored Black Bear.

Thanks to Nancy for allowing me to share her photos with you here.
