Was watching me from about 12m while I was sitting down eating rice. I took photos once it had walked away.
Carrying prey
got to trail this cougar for a few miles across the dunes. Caught the tracks on the edge of one of the big forest islands, followed as it circled the island than crossed open dunes to walk through the wetlands and lost it in the coastal forest
This morning, I was on my front porch and heard one of my neighbor's hens across the street cackling in panic. She then came into view running to the edge of their driveway where she took flight. She flew across the street and down the 40 feet of my driveway before hitting the ground and running into the woods. Right behind her was a young Bobcat galloping down the driveway, but stopping when it saw me. It spent the next 20 minutes wandering around my driveway and my neighbor's. I went across the street and none of the 12 free-ranging chickens could be found anywhere. They hid for most of the rest of the day. These poor photos were the best I could do with my cell phone. The red circle in photo #3 is a reflector to mark the edge of the driveway.
