ALSO, there have been reports of Bobcat sightings in Briar Meadow and near preserve in Rio Ponderosa!! Food sources are getting scarce because of all the land being developed.
Free roaming cats kill billions of song birds every year. I’m rooting for the coyotes and any other cat killers to protect our ever diminishing bird population.
