When Jinx McCombs looked at the chip in her trail cam, she found about 100 photos of this Mountain Lion, which was seen near Point Arena.

This is the first sighting of a Cougar since last Summer, Jinx said. Seeing this big cat, also called a Puma, is a thrill.

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

Oh, the wind! It is extremely windy today as a front crosses over us. The house is shaking from today's wind! The wind is suppose to calm down overnight and the forecast is sunny and warmer for the days ahead.

Jinx McCombs and Paul Nordstrand’s trail cam has done it again. Near Point Arena, their camera photographed a Mountain Lion. Jinx wrote, “When I retrieved the photo chip, I found that a Puma strolled past about 5 pm in daylight; first time for that. It seems to be on a one-month pattern. Prior photos were 2/6/20 and 3/13/20, which would lead me to think it was a male keeping an eye on a typical large territory."

“However, one of these photos caught a butt shot that makes it pretty clear to me it’s not a male. Wonders of nature, eh?”

I sent Jinx’ photo to Dr. Quinton Martins, of Living With Lions. He wrote, “Fantastic! So cool – yes, this looks like an older female.” To learn more about Dr. Martins' efforts to protect Mountain Lions, here is his website: https://www.egret.org/living-with-lions

Sunny, warm and very breezy - there has to be a LOT of upwelling going on in the ocean today!

We finally got power restored this afternoon. Four days is a long time to be out. But I'm glad to be back up and to share nature sightings with you today.

Jinx McCombs and Paul Nordstrand have a motion-detector camera set up at their Point Arena property. Look what they recently recorded. First, a Bobcat.

And a Coyote!

And a big Buck.

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

It's sunny and cool on the Mendonoma coast today, with some smoke from the Kincaid Fire in Sonoma County. The smoke is giving us eerie sunsets, just about perfect for Halloween tomorrow!

This big Bobcat, a male, was seen by Steve Bennett crossing the highway in Point Arena where the roadwork has been taking place, the south end of town.

With the rut of the Black-tailed Deer about to begin, and a Bobcat crossing the highway, it's time to slow down on coast roads.

Thanks to Steve for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

We are having sunny, mild weather with sunsets to make you sigh in delight.

Michael Beattie photographed one of three Gray Fox kits under the deck of the Pacific Community Charter School in Point Arena.

The kits love to play and wrestle with each other. Having a family under a deck or woodshed is guaranteed to give  you many hours of fun watching their antics.

Thanks to  Michael for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

Sunny and breezy seems to be the name of the weather game these days. The sunrise this morning was spectacular but very fleeting. If someone got a photo of it, I hope to share it here.
