This morning, around 8 a.m., I looked up from my office window to see a mountain lion fifteen feet away cross to the corner of the barn and disappear. This happened last Thanksgiving, too, almost a year ago. I've lived all my life in the Southwest never seeing a live mountain lion in the wild! Now I see them around my house.

When I go out to look for tracks, I'm not surprised not to find any. This resident lion has been here a while, and this very specific route crosses over difficult substrate for tracks.

Also this morning came this really nice review of What Walks This Way. https://guloinnature.com/what-walks-t...
