A mountain lion drinks water from a local backyard habitat. Over the last year, Hari Viswanathan setup a camera trap to observe the critters visiting his parent’s pond on Barranca Mesa in Los Alamos. The National Wildlife Federation (NWF) took notice of the amazing variety of wildlife visiting Selvi Viswanathan’s NWF Certified Backyard Habitat and asked Hari to write an article about it. Here is the article that describes the history of Selvi’s Certified Backyard Habitat, with links to certifying your own yard, and preventing problematic wildlife encounters: http://blog.nwf.org/2013/06/mountain-lion-seeks-backyard-oasis/.
