disarticulated. Mark Stambaugh told me
he has seen a lion in this area
(Long Field + Lane) no less than three
times over the past few weeks. On
one of those occasions, he actually
heard a deer scream in the afternoon
and investigated to find the lion
running away from a dying young
fawn somewhere around H.87 or H.90.
I didn't find any trace of the fawn.
He said it's mother was very distressed
and faced around on the W. side
of the creek watching her offspring
(and the lion presumably) in the creek
below. I wonder if these 2 bills and
the other sightings (Mark's) belong to the
same lion I watched on Haystack Hill
on April 13th? Or, do they belong to
the larger lion that left tracks on
Martin Rd. a few days later?
Early evening I set traps from H.11-56.
Thurs. 0400pST: Again, I had great trap success,
May 12 but I only caught ? 15/19-20 at H16 - No young.
Evening: Set traps from H.100C - 127A.
Fri. 0400pST: lots of rats again, inc. more
May 13 new ones.
Headed back to Berkeley by mid-morning.
