A female lynx with 2 kittens was seen
on Highway 2 on October 24, 2004. This very
likely was Lynx #7.
When her den was visited in June she had 3 kittens.
This means that all 3 of the female lynx on the
project that had kittens in June were able to
bring at least some kittens through the summer.
Lynx #13 was seen with
kittens 9/25/04, and a female with kittens which
we believe was Lynx #14
was photographed near Isabella on 9/16/04.

Lynx #12 was recaptured and his GPS collar

, Lynx #16, a 20 pound female, was collared and released
