July 10th Bear Breakfast

Started like any morning until a bear walked up to a bird feeder, sort of joining us for breakfast. Let's not mention that you-know-who had just filled those same feeders. Watch the short flash film by clicking the image to the right ( and a smaller separate webpage will open and then click the start button twice to start the film)

Now this character looked 'small' and cute, only about 5' and a few inches tall. That set us thinking....when the staff saw two bears together the other week, we assumed the first one was the big one seen earlier, and the second one, walking out of the woods, looked even larger...so almost everyone thought we had two giants in the back woods. But really, the first bear seen that fateful night was actually a smaller one, it's size likely hidden by the bushes & small trees and the second bigger bear was really the same 'big one' seen weeks earlier.

So now work is almost calm. It's only one big bear and one smaller bear.
And black bears are really vegetarians, tho they're also 'stomachs with legs' that can knock your head off if you're not careful (like in the old classic 'Clan of the Cave Bears).

OK, so did anyone bring the feeders back inside this evening? Will someone go and get them now???
