Mountain Lion Sighting

















There was a sighting of a mountain lion at dusk last week in the upper Glen coming out of the creek and heading up into the mountains. (No pictures of that sighting) It reminds me of a visit from the BIG CAT to our house in 1993. My favorite pic is him looking in the window at me. The other pictures were taken from the second story window. That was the only time I have ever seen a free-range cougar. That platform the cat is standing on is 6' across and 5' deep.

Location: Sierra Madre Villa Debris Basin. The Arundo stand was recently almost entirely eradicated by mechanical grinding and uprooting and what appears to be the removal of 99% of the biomass. Unfortunately there are several root cluster remaining and the beginning of some regrowth. See pictures. I counted 5 nodes that have shoots from 4 to 18 inches high.
