The Bears are Awake |
Yes, the bears are back - secure all trash, hummer feeders, other
bird feeders.
The first report this year was from the Wondervu area on May 2
- the bear was not seen but left its tracks in snow. It tore down
3 hummingbird feeders - the person is new to the area and did not
realize the feeders have to be taken in at night or hung w-a-y out
in space. Even daytime feeders are not really safe, just a little
safer.
Then yesterday, May 5, a young, brown colored bear, went past two
houses in the Crescent Park area about 8 a.m. but got no human related
food.
Now, with Dave Barnett's big bear sighting, also on May 2, near
Chute Rd, and Dottie West's report of a tree hugger by Byers and
Sellers today, the season is well underway.
Thanks for sharing via the CC Yahoo Group - the more details, the
better. Let's hope there are lots of sightings and few damage reports
this year.
Keep those bears wild!
The cougar, I agree, is all too comfortable around human habitation!
