Backyard Bears


This was a bear up in Canada that we got a picture of while vacationing with our daughter and son-in-law. It was just like the one that roamed our back yard last year. Only the one in our yard was a little more energetic. He would empty out all the bird feeders in the neighborhood, then rip down the feeders. He would just lay on his belly and lick the leftover seeds from the ground. EAGH! What a job that must have been on his little bear lips!
This year we have only heard about the bear that have been in the area. We didn't see any, as of yet. They have harvested a few from this area weighing 400-500 pounds. I really wouldn't want one of them breathing down my neck while gardening! Although, one of our neighbors did!
She said she didn't realize he was there along side of her while she was gardening. When she noticed him, she said she just sat still until is went through the yard. Thank God the wind must have been from a different direction and he hadn't noticed her gardening. I like to make a lot of noise when I'm outside and have my trusty companions with me.
