REPORT DETAIL

Description of event: I was with a fire crew checking on a water source. I stopped and sat on a rock as the crew went ahead. The area was a free range area. The cows that were in the meadow began to bellow and I watched then all run to the northern side of the meadow. I first thought there might be a cougar amongst the cliff area. I then scanned the ridge and noticed something standing at the edge of the cliff. I thought it might have been like a burnt tree there. Then it began to turn from side to side and I then could see it had a head and shoulder form to it. After a few seconds it turned and walked back towards the wooded area.
