Wow.

So, I watched the news tonight to see what they'd say about the cougar I posted about this morning.

They have video of the capture.

Pretty neat. I'm glad they didn't kill it.

Yesterday, some poor guy on a motorcycle got pasted by a deer and died, on his way to work.

We had a couple of mallards under the tree in the front yard on Saturday. Muskrats live a block away in the canal. Gophers on the other side of our wall. I've smelled skunks in the neighborhood, and I've seen two garter snakes in my yard.

I love living in such a bustling metropolis...

I'm so glad they didn't have to kill it. Civilization is closing in on my neighborhood but we've still got some rangeland around us and the wildlife that goes with it.

Yeah, they just shipped her back to the Oquirrhs, the mountain range to the west, which is presumably where she came from.

Part of the reason we changed our walking route to go along the canal rather than the street was the opportunity for watching birds. We've seen California Quail several times this year already. :)
