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.

Rather large bobcat. Noticeably bigger than our 43lb dog. Walked through our yard in daylight while we were outside.
I may have disturbed its den. There’s a portion of our property that is on a very steep slope. I typically clear the growth on foot and by hand once a year, however with our new baby and being required to be in the office 5 days a week, I didn’t manage clearing it for the past two years.There’s thick, dry, reedy grass, weeds and mustard that were all compacted and laying down along the grade of the slope. I was working “against the grain” so to speak, lifting and clearing upwards when I noticed a big spot that seemed “hollow” - not much debris or undergrowth and a spot where the dense brush seemed to fall over an open space neatly. I stopped cutting/clearing and left it alone thinking it might have been used by deer.
Shortly thereafter we saw this bobcat come walking down the driveway.

Not sure where the mountain lion entered my property. The direction it’s headed is a concrete wall that serves as a retaining wall and beyond that is the nature preserve that might be a part of the San Pedro Valley County Park…I’m not sure.
