OT BEAR

Last night (about 7:30) a black bear took down my bird feeder. This is
about one month earlier than last year. Now I am waiting for the
hummingbirds.

Are all kitties safely inside?
Don't wander around in the dark. Best wishes. MLB

Why, are you hoping they'll be able to drive away the black bear from their
food source?

LOL. That really made me giggle.
I think the USA is quite an exciting place to live, wildlife- wise ;-) IF
you like alligators in your yard (Jill) and bears (Mike).
Must be such an adrenaline rush which I can do without. g
Ok, you all have nicer weather than I do, in summer, but compare that with a
bear in my garden - no contest. You also have worse winters (some states)
I'm a wimp with alligators, bears and panthers.
Nothing in the wildlife department will kill me here, as long as I stay well
clear of red deer stags in the rutting season, which I find quite easy to do
as I know where they are and I just don't go there in October.

We only have one venomous snake too and I have never seen one as the habitat
they prefer is not near where I live.
Lucky Brit, or what? ;-)

Black bears are quite common in my area but most of the time they will
avoid humans. They are only dangerous if it's a mother with cubs.
Because of the warm weather last week they are out of hibernation about
one month early. Winter is back today with a thin coating of snow and a
temperature in the twenties (F). My hummingbird feeder was starting to
freeze so I had to bring it in. Amber and Tiger couldn't care at all.

I'll let you have the bears.
I would not swap you for foxes.
