Mountain Lions in Burland

Beware Burland Residents and other close neighbors - Our HOA President was contacted by the District Wildlife Officer today regarding 2 active mountain lions in Burland. Please always be aware of your surroundings and keep a very close eye on pets and children. Pets should be brought in at night, or make sure they kept in a kennel with a cover.

Thanks for the heads up.

I know the two. One is a full grown female and a youth. But hey we are not done yet.

There is also another huge and I mean huge mamma who is finally moving with her two young kits. We have known about this one for awhile over on the Hi Meadow side but visiting in Burland to make her kills. She is the mamma to the full grown female, we think, since she allows her to stay in her territory. Big mamma is wise enough to stay out the limelight. Unfortunately her offspring aren't so bright.

We have not had any problem with the two. They have hissed to give warning and we have moved off and given them room to leave. If DOW is contacting the HOA, they must be getting into trouble. Bummer. Please keep an eye on your pets and children. I hope the crazy woman who lets her children jump on the trampoline and play outside unattended reads this. She has no idea how close the lions and bears have come to her children.

Please watch pets and children.

An email received from a neighbor. The big lion with the 2 kits is now on the move between Burland and Hi Meadow teaching them how to hunt easy prey, pets.

This is not the lion and youth also in the Burland area.

Well I wish to heck they'd mosey this way when I'm looking out the window!

Kitty's.

I've tried calling "Here, kitty, kitty, kitty" in the deepest voice possible to no avail. :

Just park your vehicle with the hood in the sun, Natural lounging area for them.

Hummm. Maybe I'll sprinkle a little cat nip there, too. And then hide inside with the windows rolled up. Sounds like a plan.

Hide in the Porta-Pottie!
