Quarter of three this afternoon I was at the kitchen sink and here came a nice-looking black bear sauntering across the back yard. I went outside to try to get a better photo, and it took off up the mountain. They can really run fast, and I'm glad to see he's not interested in being around people.
This is the time of year when they start eating a lot, getting ready for hibernation. We've got ripe chokecherries in parts of the yard, and of course there are the ever-popular hummingbird feeders.

We have bear around here, but they're brown and not really dangerous although they can be destructive. Hopefully he'll continue to avoid people!
Be careful about food trash but I know you really are. I can't help but worry about you and bears.
When the bear goes into hibernation, is that kind of like Mr. YouKnow going to Las Vegas for the winter????
Bring in your honey pots, too!
You live in a virtual zoo! Bear, elk, foxes, deer.... sounds like a tiny corner of paradise.
