Thursdays with Jake – Where the Lion WAS.

So here’s where Jake first spotted the mountain lion.  Of course I couldn’t see it… yet.

Looking down the ravine.

Here is the slope Jake hauled me over in his haste to follow the lion.

Up over the rocks.

Here is the tree.  The lion jumped up into this little horse chestnut tree just down the ravine from where we stood.

Lion Tree.

We hurried on down the trail, spying the lion’s prey, a small buck deer.

Jake knows exactly what he’s looking for.

This is the slope just ahead of us, looking up above the trail where we saw the lion in the grass.

It was just there at the peak.

Still no warning sign at the park, but neither have I seen the lion for a week.  Although he left a couple big piles of scat right in the middle of the trail.  I did see two newborn fawns the other day… so sweet!  Probably good eating, if you’re a cougar.

Towhee baby update – both fledglings have survived and, knock wood, are thriving in my backyard.

The robins returned this week and began a new nest.  Hopefully this endeavor will be more successful than their last.

Oh, our parrot laid an egg!  She’s been building a nest in the bottom of her cage for a couple weeks.  Looked like she was ready to lay her egg last night but my husband and the dog opened the bedroom door and she climbed back up to her perch.  This afternoon I found a single egg in the bottom of the cage.   Last time she did this we ended up with seven eggs.  I’ll keep you posted!
