Puma & Bobcat Sightings Map

Spotted walking slowly east to west on a trail about 25 feet down slope from our hilltop home on Catalina Heights Way, Vista.

Backyard camera capture. We think it's two lions.

Large buff brown feline shape climbing the backside of a tree. Larger than a Raccoon or O'possum. Picked up the shape as my car headlights approached Palmetto Ave.at the end of Victoria.

Captured on home surveillance video

Heard and then spotted what we believe was one or two mountain lions. Deep, guttural sounds and a higher pitched sound. Believed it was a mother and cub but could have been just one animal. I only saw one animal, It was in a redwood tree on a branch about 20-25 feet above the ground. It/they were scared by the neighbor's three barking dogs and trying to find an escape. Reported to authorities

Very large dark color cat with long tail walking through back yard. Caught on motion video camera

I saw a mountain lion cross Hwy 34 around 3:45pm. The animal did a quick walk across the road, stopped on the shoulder and then jumped into the ditch once I passed it. I was able to get a good look because I had to slow down. If I didn't slow down, I could have hit it.

Saw a very large cat from my back deck across our back field, not sure if it was a mountain lion, but it sure looked like it.

I was driving North on Highway 5 (passenger) and was looking at the scenery to my right (East). The mountain lion was running up the hill diagonally, heading northbound. It was just after 4:15pm. It's color was the same as the hillside and had it been still I wouldn't have seen it. The lion was quite large! I could easily compare it to the length of the cows I'd seen grazing just South of it's location. Beautiful animal!

Stalking turkeys under oak tree. Wife saw it yesterday morning about same time, area (see attached photo extracted from phone video)

On the evening of 8/23/17, we caught the attached photos on our trail camera. The camera has been in place for almost two years with a variety of coyote, bobcats, fox, deer, etc. This was the first photos that we have captured of a mountain lion. It was successful with a raccoon (IMG 0077) and we have not seen it since. It does not appear to have a tracking collar. Our property (998 Gold Ridge Rd. Sebastopol - Camera location, Latitude 38.383361 "“ Longitude -122.860873) backs up to an upper feeder section of the Atascadero Creek and we get a good variety of wildlife but this was a first. It could be that it was just passing through and the photos last showed it moving to the west through the vineyard.

Adult Female and 2 adolescent cubs. Female did not appear to be collared. Cubs looked about a year old and healthy.

Walking on driveway, stoop up on mailbox as I drove past

Two 1 year olds just up from our house with the mother calling them from the ridge to the south. We have video of the call and about ten pictures of the cubs.

I observed a mountain lion sitting in the bushes at the edge of Golf Course at Land's End, San Francisco, near the Eagle Point Lookout. It stood and began stalking something. It ran into the bushes when I yelled a warning to two other hikers. I reported the sighting to GGNRA Park Police at about 4:30 PM.

the puma ran within 20 feet of me while chasing four deer. He/she did not catch any of the deer. It was just before dusk on a hot and dry summer day.

I started my morning walk about 5:50am and walked to the end of Witt Road where it meets Crossrock Road. I noticed a bunny run up the street at an accelerated rate. I then notice an animal which I thought was a dog or coyote walk down the trail that hits Crossrock Road. I realized that the animal walked like a cat with long strides and distinctive look. I was about 30 yards away from the Puma. I stopped and walked backwards for a few houses until I was out of sight and ran to my home. Along the way, I told one of my neighbors whom was walking his three dogs, to avoid that area.

Trail camera capture

Young, small mountain lion crossed the Martin Canyon Creek Trail while I was running. Did not look aggressive nor shy. Stopped and sit in the shade to observe me. Did not try to follow me.

Was driving on the road and I thought I saw a something moving about 50 yards in front of me. When the object got close to the side of the road My headlights light up of two eyes and I was able to see the pace that it was moving. The eyes where about 1-2 ft taller then a coyote and the pace that it was moving was about the prance of a mountain lion. I am pretty sure it was one.
