Puma & Bobcat Sightings Map
While many people are confident they've seen a puma, not all of these sightings are accurate. The map below includes both confirmed and unverified puma sightings in the larger San Francisco Bay region (and beyond) since 2004.
Over time, this will help us evaluate problem areas, movement barriers for wildlife, and potential for human-puma conflict.

Was walking very close up to a flock (20+) of wild turkeys. The turkeys got agitated, but didn’t flee and the bobcat did not try attack. Took a photo which is attached.

Walked through my parking lot into the golf course. Was walking my dog at 3 am. It wasn’t interested in us at all. Very casual stride. Big animal tho! Took breathe away!

We have two different days of video footage Nov 5 and 10th. Both around midnight. Our street backs up to the Rancho San Antonio Open Space. We often have deer in our neighborhood, as well as a spring-fed year-round creek that runs right alongside it. We created a Google drive of the security camera video footage:

We lost 6 chickens last week, and have been hearing a lot of squawking from the run recently. This morning I was in the yard and when I heard the squawking I saw the bobcat just outside the run. Smallish (although it's my first bobcat sighting so I don't know how big they should be) but clearly a bobcat that ran off into the open space.

Driving home in the neighborhood, we saw a small four-legged animal with longish ears, body thicker than a cat, with a tail like a cross between a deer tail and curly like a pig's. We believe it was a young bobcat.
