On Sunday November 22, Nancy and Rich Trissel had quite the sighting at their home off Fish Rock Road. Nancy wrote, “I had an exciting sighting just before 5 pm. From my living room, I took a photo of two young Mountain Lions staring down a young Buck. It’s been a few weeks since I’ve seen any Deer around, and I tapped the window to see if the Buck would turn, revealing the number of points in his rack. He stayed absolutely still, so I reached for binoculars. Looking where his gaze was fixed, I was rewarded with two young Mountain Lions peering over a log!

"Rich was in a nearby structure so I immediately phoned him. From his vantage, he could see THREE young lions behind the log. After the lions loped away, Rich stepped out to come home, but quickly turned back around after spotting a much larger adult uphill, closer to him. The Buck slowly walked towards where the lions disappeared. Rich estimated that the young Mountain Lions were 50 to 60 pounds in size. Big kittens!”

That's quite a sighting! The larger Mountain Lion was undoubtedly the mother. Thanks to Nancy for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

It's sunny and cooler here today. The past two days we have had booming surf with huge waves. I'll be sharing some of those photos soon.
