This bobcat — confirmed to be a bobcat by the manager of SUNY ESF’s Adirondack Interpretive Center manager Charlotte Demers — was seen walking around the McKinley Street area in Lake Placid last week. Bobcats have also been spotted recently in Saranac Lake and Newcomb. The state Department of Environmental Conservation encourages people to report bobcat, fisher, otter and weasel sightings online at sgiz.mobi/s3/furbearer-sighting-survey.
