Mine is due to show up any minute, always does this time of year.... she's a beauty! A black bear who was brought here as a child to the sunflower seed filled bird feeders. We haven't seen her mom in 5 years, but this once kid, but now full g r own black bear returns year after year after year.... for one or t w o days, then disappears till the following year when she exits her den.... her black coat is super shiney...her face is beautiful, a really nice smile too....seriously, she does....
when ever we catch her trying to get in to a storage shed with the bags of seeds we yell at her, she turns around and smiles w with this sheepish look like, OH HI, HOW ARE YOU? You caught me again!!! Then she runs like the dickens past the bird feeder stand, grabs a bird feeder off o f the stand and gets about 25 yards with it in to the woods, empties it in to her belly and the next day, we retrieve it.
But this year we have still not seen her....
And oh boy oh boy, we think we know why.... she has had a cub, about the size of a big fat cat, who was under our bird feeders eating sunflower seeds....when we yelled, it ran...her mama must have been in hiding....?
