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 large cats jumped from the east side of the road (down the cliff) onto the road because me and a riding partner startled them with our conversation and headlights. It was the first day of day-light-savings and there was noticeably more wildlife on the road at 6:00am (time of sighting). It looked like a mother/cub, but hard to say as they immediately jumped westward down toward Matt Davis.

While walking south on Coast Trail and briefly on the Sculpted Beach spur, we saw large amounts of mountain lion scat and paw prints in dry mud. Later, we saw paw prints in fresh, wet mud on both the Coast and Sculpted Beach trails.

We didn't actually see the Puma only the kill of a doe in our yard. The kill was fresh as the carcass was cool but still plyable. Our property borders the Napa Creek and deer often bed down in our landscaping. The carcass was found next to the barrier fence that separates us from the creek.
On our property we also have two mules who have had a couple of instances of extreme agitation at night in the past nine months which made us wonder if there might be a big cat in the pasture.
