A famed osprey nested on a historic shipyard crane on the Richmond shoreline has laid the first egg of the season, the Golden Gate Audubon Society announced Wednesday.

The animal was not aggressive, but hikers should be vigilant this weekend in the area of the park, located at 2195 Edgewood Road, authorities said.

Police shared home surveillance footage of a mountain lion jumping over a fence in a San Bruno neighborhood on Monday morning.

The mountain lion was captured and euthanized earlier this week.

The female lion was found on Wednesday afternoon in a tree in the preserve, located near Los Altos, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife said. 

The injuries to the child were minor, and the child was treated on-scene, Midpen spokeswoman Leigh Ann Gessner said Sunday afternoon.

The curious whale appeared near the surface of the water Monday near Dana Point, the Orange County Register reported.

The 2-year-old male arrived from the Los Angeles Zoo, where he was known as Flin. He gets to assume new identity in his new home, however, following the San Francisco Zoo's fundraising tradition of allowing donors to name new arrivals.

Reno City Manager Sabra Newby tweeted about the bird Wednesday, saying it's quirky and fun but still inhumane.
