A bobcat seen around the Blackburn lagoons prompted a public warning from the city of Port Coquitlam last week.
Last Thursday, Tri-City News reader Andrea Howorth sent us images — and a video — of the wild animal as captured by her husband, Nick.
In response to the multiple sightings, municipal staff cautioned area residents to keep their small children and pets close by and to leash their dogs; it also asked homeowners to remove attractants from their yards such as outdoor bird feeders, and for northside walkers and joggers to avoid wearing headphones.
To report a bobcat sighting, call the BC Conservation Office at 1-877-952-7277.
