What a mountain lion does on a Saturday evening...

12/15/2018

 
Sometime on Friday evening/Saturday morning, a mountain lion took down a young buck. Andy spotted it in our neighborhood by the flock of ravens that were making a meal out of it.  We knew that it was a mountain lion kill because we could see a long drag mark as it moved its meal to the privacy of a nearby tree.   We also saw a VERY big cat print in the sand of the road.  So, with the cover dusk, Andy put up a trail camera near the carcass and we didn't sleep all night.  Mountain lion it was!  Here are some pictures that we got.  Note that the times are all an hour and 15 minutes later than actual.  There was also a branch that reflected back the (infrared) flash of the camera so I've edited it out.  You can see that there was barely enough left for a black-billed magpie the next day.
