Mountain Lion Monday

A series of mountain lion sightings has made me think that we have a mother lion with small kittens living in a small area of our neck of the woods.

First, I captured a photo of a young lion, one who I think was just kicked out by his mother. I believe this youngster is the one who we followed throughout the fall and winter.

I think that this is the mother mountain lion, who has been showing up on my cameras all over the area.

Later the same morning...

A week later...

The next day...


The following early morning...

Midafternoon, recently...

I haven't checked my cams in a little while but I'm hoping that she's still around. If she is, I'll be feeling confident that she's raising a litter of kittens deep in a den in our neck of the woods.

    Hard to imagine she would be staying around so long unless she has a den nearby. Can't wait to see her kittens.

    I cross my paws for her litter if she is a mom and I wish the young lion all the best... it sounds sad that he's kicked out, but maybe he will find a partner and they found their own furmily later :o)

    Beautiful mom - do those tracker collars ever bother them or cause problems? They seem so big.

    There's a real degree of detective work with these cameras - adds to the fun! :)

    Great pictures. I am learning a lot. As an urban dweller I can tell you I find it scary.
