A resident on the south side of Paa-Ko saw a bear on the property a few nights ago.  Just a reminder - Don't put trash out until the day of pickup.  Don't leave pet food outside. Try to bring bird seed and hummingbird feeders in at night - a pain in the butt but bears really love those.  Be diligent so that the bears are not encouraged to hang out here. Please remember, "a fed bear is a dead bear".

Also, snakes have been spotted.  Be aware when you are in the yard.  Watch where you step - rocks and crevices are good hiding places. Check between pots and the house - snakes love to wrap themselves around the base of the pot.  Watch when you step off a step to make sure one isn't sunning itself on the step below.

FROM THE LEAG COMMITTEE:
    On 9/29 at 11:15 am an incident started at the south PaaKo entrance.  A resident was approached while sitting in her vehicle, looking up directions, by a subject who threatened to assault her. The subject was in an older maroon car, (Toyota or Subaru), NM license number WYM004. The resident fled in her car-was chased up PaaKo Drive by the subject.  PaaKo security & BCSO were contacted.  Fred of PaaKo Security located the subject and detained him until the BCSO arrived and took over.  The subject was not taken into custody for this incident.  Shortly thereafter, the subject was at San Antonito Elementary School. The school called BCSO.  The subject again was not taken into custody.  The subject proceeded to the Shell station and was involved in a violent encounter that led to a third law enforcement response -he was taken into custody.  The subject is known to BCSO.  The resident was told the subject has been “mentally adjudicated” which makes it difficult to file charges that will stick.  He was placed on a 72 hour hold for mental evaluation.  The BCSO shared with the resident that the subject had a firearm removed from him 2 weeks earlier after a gunshot wound in his leg.  Please remain watchful for this vehicle and other suspicious activity and report to law enforcement. (If danger is imminent, call 911.  Paa-Ko Security 505-803-3075. BCSO Non-Emergency 798-7000.)
    On the same day, a relative of a resident had a run-in with the same man. The man’s car was parked in the middle of the road so the relative stopped to ask if he needed help. He said the man was up in the trees and came down limping badly saying he had shot himself in the leg. He then went to his trunk to get something-the relative immediately left  because he was worried the man was going for a gun.  He called BCSO and they came quickly, but later that day the man was still there. To see an image of the car and an image of the suspect, GO TO READ MORE and then to DOCUMENTS

Am sending this out again, as I discovered it would be helpful to attach the photos of the bear and mountain lion. : -)

Attached you will find great photos of a (skinny) bear and a mountain lion recently seen on Canyon Ridge.
