Introduction: Camera Trapping Bobcats in West Reno
Introduction: Camera Trapping Bobcats in West Reno
Starting in January 2020, my research students and I have set up camera traps at various locations around West Reno to determine the presence and activity patterns of urban bobcats. We have found bobcats at half of our locations in the last year and determined they are most active from 6-10 pm and 2-6am.

Have you seen a bobcat in West Reno? We would love to know about it. Data collection from Reno homeowners is an important part of this project and helps us to better understand the presence and health of this species in the suburban area. If you have seen one, please fill out the following form by clicking on the button below.
