I think that must be their "Scary! Boo!" face! Very interesting.

But no, if I thought it was a Mountain Lion I would not have looked. I would have peed my pants and then ran home!

Wow what a find, it's always cool to see nature up close

Wouldn't you? I mean how many of us get to see a mountain lion up close outside of a zoo? I'd be looking.

You DON'T want to see a mountain lion up close. Of all the wildlife to see up close, a mountain lion should be the LAST. They WILL kill/eat you.

That said, you have a better chance of being killed by your neighbors dog (probably because there's a better chance at confrontation).

I think I would have jumped 10 feet at the sound. If the babies sound is that scary, I wonder what sound the adults make.

They are certainly beautiful creatures in the air.

That is such a cool pic!! I just can't decide whether they are really ugly or so ugly they're cute???!!!

I had something similiar happen to me. I was searching around in the evening in the top of my Grandparents barn for something when I heard a strange sound and an awful smell. I looked and could barely make out what you saw, baby blackhead vultures.

Suddenly, something large swooped out of the dark towards my head, I ducked

and a parent landed within two feet of me and projectile vomited pink vomit towards me.

I got the message

, left them alone, and washed my pants. Evidently that is how they protect their young.

I just hope their fat little crops aren't full of someone's fat little chickies. Ewwwwwww!

But they are cute and like someone else mentioned the adults are really neat to watch in flight.

Ok, so what did you do with the little guys?
I totally agree, they are so ugly they are adorable, LOL..

We have had several mountain lion sightings around here and several horses and cows severely hurt or killed within the last month. That being said, if it was me who heard that noise I would have gone and gotten my rifle before I took a peek, LOL...
