All the beautiful birds that left us last fall to head south for the winter have started arriving back on Anarchist Mountain. You’ve probably already heard robins singing from the treetops, and observed the flitting of little brown and grey jobbies bee-bopping from branch to branch as they sort out where to set up shop or find food as they continue further north.
It’s likely that most of us who live on Anarchist Mountain have never seen a cougar in the wild or encountered its tracks when out and about exploring our surroundings.
Cougars are the second largest wild cat in the world (the jaguar is the largest), with adults ranging in length from 42 to 54 inches. Adult males can weigh up to 200 pounds, and adult females up to 120 pounds. They are light brown in colour, have a somewhat compact head and a long (up to three feet), thick tail with a black tip at the end. Males typically live 10 to 12 years, with females living a few years longer.
Anyone registered for RDOS Voyent Alert would have received notification about the upcoming public engagement session in Oliver on Friday, February 23 about drought in the South Okanagan. Details about the session are also provided below.
