In looking at Carl’s video, they appear to be two adults, perhaps a male and female. Mountain Lions do not have a mating season; they can mate at any time of the year. So it’s possible a male was paying a courting call on the smaller female.

Thanks to Carl for allowing me to share his video and screen shot with you here.

It's windier than heck here today! Fog is over the ocean, but get a little ways inland, and it's toasty warm.

Here's what Kim Marquardt wrote about her video, “We captured some fantastic video on our Ring camera last Thursday night. At about 8:30 pm, not one, not two, but THREE Mountain Lions strolled through our property. We’re between Sunset and Fish Rock.”

Here is the video:

I believe there are two adults and a young Cougar in Kim's video. We know Mountain Lions live here. It's important, especially this time of year, to have your dogs and kitties safe inside. I've seen a study where Mountain Lions don't like the sound of human voices. When I have to take my golden retriever out at dark, I chat away!

Thanks to Kim for allowing me to share her video with you here.

It's cooler today with breezes and clouds zipping by. There was enough moisture in one cloud early this morning, as I witnessed this rainbow spilling out of a cloud.

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.
