Mountain lions, also known as cougars, are a vicious animal. An elusive predator that roams our lands, they’re known for their incredible stalking abilities, often with their prey, including the occasional human, not knowing they’re after them until the job is nearly done.

We were travelling to historic Cape Race, when we encountered a traffic jam. Four Woodland Caribou were trotting along in the middle of the road. That is not what we expected to see, as our guide took us to the most south-easterly corner of Newfoundland in early July 2018. We were out to find Willow Ptarmigan and seabirds. We missed the ptarmigan, but we had three species of Shearwaters: Sooty, Greater, and Manx. Also offshore, we saw Razorbill and Atlantic Puffin. Two Minke Whales added to the variety. Butterflies were active too: we saw a Short-tailed Swallowtail and a Common Ringlet.

Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman posted on Facebook that the city will use court orders to shut down additional apartment complexes that have been infiltrated by the gangs. It seemed to contradict comments made by Gov. Jared Polis, who said the gang problem was a figment of Aurora council member Danielle Jurinsky’s imagination.
