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.

Our wild animal trail camera got an excellent 10-sec video of a cougar strolling on the wildlife trail which edges our fence and vineyard. The video starts with a face view and then the cougar strolls by. Excellent resolution. This is the third sighting in 2 weeks. All have been reported to you.

I was getting home from work and saw a mountain lion in the driveway. I honked my car horn and slowly walked down hill.

Our trail cam captured a 10 sec image of a lion walking the wildlife trail from the west to the east around our vineyard. It doesn't have a collar. We have a 10 MB video we could send you.

I was driving my car up the road with my high beams on because there's always a lot of deer on this road. I'm driving pretty slow because sometimes the turns are sharp or you can't see around the corner well, and then I saw it in front of my car. I drove slowly forward so I wouldn't hit it, it zig-zagged away along the road and finally into the trees. I got a really good look at it but couldn't take a picture because I was driving.

Cougar sighted below our property in mid-afternoon by the guys installing our solar panel array. Based on the dogs behavior, we think the cougar strolled down Montebello Road past our place about 2:15 pm.

From a former neighbor's camera (I live three houses away). She may have submitted this at the time (she said she was doing volunteer work with you), but I don't see it on the map, so I thought I'd add it. She's since moved, but she sent me the image. It's what inspired us to get a camera, if I recall correctly.
