New Canaan police say they received a credible report Thursday of a mountain lion sighting on Marvin Ridge Road, which is about a mile northeast of the northeast corner of Darien. The 7:30 a.m. sighting of the cougar crossing a backyard comes about three months after the last one and just a few houses away, according to Officer Allyson Halm, head of the New Canaan Police Department’s Animal Control section. ___________

Halm is calling for all homeowners in the area of 250 Marvin Ridge Road above Nursery Road to check surveillance cameras so that police can get at least one visual confirmation.
