After seeing Marv Katz's bears and wild boar, Olesky's 6 raccoons and retired printer Dick Latshaw's garage-loving alligator, BJ retiree Elizabeth Patton sent me this email:
John, here are pictures of my first hint that I had a bear by my house. Pictures taken a week later show the actual villain.
We spoke with Div. of Natural Wildlife and they told us to remove all feeders during April through November to prevent this kind of visitor.
My neighbor has a 1.5-hour video of the little guy sitting on the ground
having lunch from her feeders. Cute, but a little scary.
No signs yet this year of a comeback, but I keep watching.
