Local wildlife

Bit of a story here - we have had one larger (male) bear around for a while. The trail camera caught a pic of two together (very dark, bad pic but it provided proof we had two around). Pic 176 is his lady friend.

307 and 313 (sorry not great pics) show the male(?) rearranging a flower pot to get at the tray of water under it - the whole sequence is kind of neat but you get the idea with the 2 pics.

I hear of people being worried about our snakes and spiders in Australia. I think I'm way more worried about your bears.

I have not met them face to face (and that's a good thing) - they seem to be careful to stay out of the way . I look at the paw on the male and know it could cause a lot of pain so here's hoping they keep their distance.

We are careful to make sure there is no food about (other than the fruit trees and they are all picked now).

My wife got a red fox in the front yard last week.
