The Accidental Citizen Science of Security Cameras.
This photo of the mystery puma was captured on a security camera by musician Chris Stills (son of Stephen Stills of Crosby, Stills, and Nash). Stills tweeted the photo, which was how I saw it. The photo inspired me to put some camera traps (motion-activated cameras designed to document wildlife) out in Franklin Canyon, the closest open space to the original security camera location. After a year of camera trapping, I eventually got a couple of puma photos. I would never have considered surveying for a puma in the isolated Franklin Canyon if it hadn't been for that original surprising security camera footage.
