Mountain Lion tracks
This morning, I walked down to get the paper. We had a few inches of snow yesterday and overnight. A line of tracks headed down the drive. Backtracking, I saw they came from the property below, 1981 Timber Lane. I suspected a mountain lion because the tracks were round and large. I walked back to the drive and picked up the paper. The tracks continued down Wild Horse Circle.
Back in the house, I found a site comparing mountain lion tracks to dog tracks. Definitely a lion. Here's another picture from the drive.
Update:
I've add another mountain lion post, so I put all the track pics in one photo album here.

Nice clean print - perhaps next time when you grab the camera, bring along a ruler or a quarter, something to act as a reference in the picture for the size of the paw print. I'm very curious for our wildlife expert to estimate the size of the lions walking through PBH. AM
I thought about the ruler afterwards. I'll make sure I use one next time. Thanks.
