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.

Around 4:15am a mountain lion set off a security camera. The lion stopped briefly to look at the camera (it makes a clicking sound when it turns on) and continued on its way.

We have three trail cameras on our 7 acre property. We've had multiple bobcat sightings (and foxes, coyotes, etc), but this was our first mountain lion.

He was seen and could tell he was huge and coming down from like the backyards like if he was looking for food or something maybe wanted to get in the yards he did nor see us and kept going down he was tan in color. There is no warning signs of wild animals there at all and lots of older people and kids walk that trail.

I was eating dinner outside by myself at 7PM - I dropped my family off at the airport earlier in the day so it was quiet! I heard two hawks, a crow and a squirrel going nuts - all the sudden I see a bobcat on the corner of my property by the creek. Our back property is a pinch point for many wildlife traversing from Lafayette reservoir to orinda open space preserve.
anyway, I have video to prove it. I only got it in the first 4 seconds before he went out of sight. Around 40 seconds you can hear it scurry away out of sight. Probably by the ephemeral creek btwn my house and 232 Hall drive.
