The University of Arizona Wild Cat Research and Conservation Center says it’s the fifth big cat over the last 15 years to be spotted in the area after crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. The animal was captured by the camera as it visited a watering hole in November, its distinctive spots setting it apart from previous sightings.

Only 5? A start, I guess.
Mr. Bodio – my name is Mark Troth. I hope this greeting reaches you.
I am a 70 year old, recently retired commercial banker (45 years) living in Chappell Hill Texas.
I just discovered you a few months ago – sadly a couple of decades late, but maybe that’s a good thing because I have more time to read now. I worked in Houston and raised my family in a small town called Richmond about 30 miles Southwest of the city.
I just finished reading Querencia, and must say I cannot remember being so deeply moved. The Magdalena locale (New Mexico is my forever place of dreams and mystery) your special love story and your passion for the people, the culture and the pace of life, took my breath away. I’ve read Tiger Country, and am currently enthralled with “On the Edge of the Wild”.
I never had a bird dog, but some of my favorite memories are Quail hunting and dove hunting with my father in the Texas Hill country. It was all about the time spent with him – and lessons learned – as opposed to the success of the hunt. My dad was such a traditionalist, we never had an automatic weapon. After my initial 10 year old
Christmas gift – an Ithica lever action 410 single shot. As I got older,
I settled in with a side-by-side Fox “silverworth “”20 gauge. It belonged to my grandfather, who hunted in Missouri with Brittany Spaniels.
I’m five years into an Alzheimer’s diagnosis. I’m fortunate to be part of a new drug protocol via infusion, that will hopefully slow the decline of my dementia. I can relate with your Parkinson’s and pray that you continue to write and appreciate the breadth and depth of the tremendous influence that has come from your writings.
I’m reading fewer novels these days, because I can’t carry over a previous chapter to the following evening. No doubt your non-fiction will be a great joy for me. A Rage of Falcons and Eagle Dreams are next up. I also enjoy writing and thankfully have the time now to do so. I published a couple of first person, essays in a COOP magazine, and I’m writing a periodical blog about my Alzheimer’s journey for Texas Tech’s “Garrison Institute on Aging”. Their mission is primarily to support the families and caregivers
in the Texas panhandle and Eastern New Mexico -under served areas.
Sorry for the wordy “reach out” but I was inspired.
Mark
