“I was the shyest human ever invented, but I had a lion inside me that wouldn’t shut up!” – Ingrid Bergman
There was a mountain lion in a tree a couple of blocks from my house on Saturday. We were unaware until we heard and saw a helicopter hovering high over our house for a long time. I called my son to tell him about the helicopter and he told me there was a mountain lion in a tree near where a boyhood friend of his used to live. He sent us the link to the news story about it. I was worried the lion would be hurt by authorities trying to remove it. Then I read the wildlife authorities said to leave the lion alone and it would return to the Santa Monica mountains when night fell.

Notes Tied On The Sagebrush 
I like that you were worried about the lion’s safety. All too often, encounters like this end badly.

I wasn’t sure what would be done about the lion and I was pleasantly surprised that they left it alone and it went back to the mountains.

I echo Dan’s comment – glad it ended well for all creatures.

I surely do love this quote. Also glad to hear they stepped back to allow the mountain lion room to head home.

It worked out great this time. It made me wonder if the lions have been coming down before and we did not see them at night.

Me too! I was thinking they would shoot it with a tranquilizer dart but the wildlife people know what they are doing.

I think most wild animals will go home at night if left alone. Good call by the wildlife authorities. I had a golden retriever that learned to get over the fence by using a tree next to the fence. One night, my neighbor who had been reading about mountain lions called me and told me it looked like we had a mountain lion in the tree by our shared fence. Fortunately, my dog was able to make it down without getting hurt.

Glad the dog got down safely. I guess a Golden Retriever might look like a mountain lion at night. 😉
