Recent WIldlife Sightings

Bears like this fellow live nearby.
There have been two reported sightings of bears on the Windsor Trail in the Santa Fe National Forest to the east of Vista Redonda, according to Cam Duncan and Lynn Pickard, co-chairs of the TVCA. One person reported seeing a bear below the intersection with the Chamisa Trail and the other was closer to Tesuque but still a few miles up.

Tesuque Canyon residents have noted the presence of a cougar in the area since February, Duncan and Pickard report. They spotted numerous deer and raccoon kills, some of them along the Windsor Trail before it reaches the National Forest. A cougar was also sighted in June near homes in Tesuque Meadow off of Bishops Lodge Road.  

Wildlife sightings are, of course, normal for our region. Here is a link to interesting article from the New Mexican that includes tips on avoiding conflict with our wildlife: http://www.santafenewmexican.com/Scoop/Living-with-wildlife
