    I believe there is the occasional Cougar in NS in the summer. I was =
driving to Shelburne one night when a deer crossed the road in front of =
me. Obviously something was chasing it- I waited a minute and a cougar =
crossed the road in front of me. I know a cougar when I see one - =
nothing else looks like it.
        That is not enough to satisfy people who don't know me, and =
rightly so. I doubt that there will ever be anything that will prove =
their existence - always there is the possibility that they escaped from =
a zoo, or someone brought one in from out side the province, or someone =
is just trying to fool people. I think some people will believe one =
drops in occasionally during the summer, and others will believe that is =
just garbage.   It is surprising that people are more willing to believe =
in the presence of some unusual bird  than in the presence of an animal =
known to travel long distances.

    Kwe Folks:

    Just a little note to inform you that a Eastern Cougar has been =
sighted and photographed near Eskasoni.  Trying to get more details and =
the picture is fuzzy as it was taken with a smartphone but DNR has =
informed the family that no cougars exist in NS.  There is some =
indications that they are thinking about hunting it down.  This is the =
second sighting in two days.  I'm trying to find out if the group is =
attempting to trap or kill it (the residents are worried for =
children/pets).  I will try to post the picture on the NS Bird Society =
facebook page.
