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.

Two (visually observed) bobcats possibly a third one in the trees as it sounded as if two were fighting.

We first saw the bobcat on Wildcat Canyon Rd near Sunset Ln. About 15m later, I went for a walk on one of the trails and saw it again. The second time I took a video. There was a flock of a dozen turkeys foraging between the first sighting and the second sighting. They didn't seem disturbed.

While on our bikes, we saw a puma cross the trail. My friend saw the whole body, I saw the back half and tail. Majestic. It was a blind corner and we couldn't see if it had left, we opted to turn around and go back down Conlon trail.

Happened too quick to get a photo but it was unmistakably a mountain lion. Crossed the trail about 100 ft in front of me and about 50 feet past the bench at the top of Conlan, close to wear it meets up with Old Nimitz. (In Wildcat Canyon) just about 6pm Gorgeous and shocking to see.

Looked to be a fully grown Puma, it crossed the road at around 7:15am and was about 50 yards from my car.
I was the only car on the road.

we formerly her every day, while she was feeding her two cubs. but this is the first time we've seen her in around a month. i wonder if the reason is that a family of grey foxes have moved in, and we see the 3 foxes several times a day.
