I just got word that neighbor saw a mountain lion in the woods below the house yesterday morning.
Other neighbors have seen the same cat at other times as well.
Also, the coyote infestation in the valley here seems to be particularly bad this year, judging from the nearly nightly yelping and howling. The deer have taken the hint and left.
And I read in the paper that bears will need to be spending 20 hours a day eating, so that they can pack on the weight for winter.
