Lots of PUMA around Coos Bay and in several other spots I have been. Of
course i HEAR them more often thean see them. They are doing wonderfully on
the south coast as far as I can tell.

PS: Many thanks to Eric Horvath who got me and many others started on
providing boxes for these birds. I think many have "graduated" and are now
nesting in natural snag cavities in clearcuts in the Coast Range. Sightings
seem almost "common" anymore when, just 15 years ago, they were almost
non-existent, at least in Coos County. In Curry County, wherever I go on
BLM land which is mostly within 10 or 15 miles of the coast, I almost
always hear them EVER time I am out this time of year.
YOO-hoo!
