| The title seems to be appropriate. The cougar moves by night, a perfect nocturnal hunter. Every aspect of its success and survival depends on its constant vigil in these dark hours. Alert and secretive, it prowls the night in my home territory. I have seen its tracks and heard its cries on occasion but have sighted only one, oddly enough in the daylight. I had found him at the wrong time . Still, he was the master and I was eluded quickly. He is a creature of the quiet shadow; a night watcher. |
