We have, or had, another cougar on the mountain. A new camera was set at Summer Spring in the north central part of the range on the 4th of March. While checking this camera on the 12th I discovered the photo above. The photo was taken on the 9th of March at 10:41 pm. I was able to find one track that was clear enough for an accurate heel width measurement (a common bit of information used to determine the sex of the cougar that made the track). The width was 58mm. Unfortunately, due to the paucity of tracks on this rocky substrate is was not possible to determine whether the measurement came from a front or hind paw. In either case the track, given its width, was mostly likely made by a male.
