Oh Bear!

I’m used to wildlife in my own back yard, and I mean literally. I have a few fruit trees that have suffered the consequences of a visit from a black bear, though usually it’s late in the year as they get ready to hibernate through winter. So I was a little surprised to see a cub (yes, the momma is way bigger) wandering around mid summer and going after any food that might be in the compost.

Of course, there’s also the less destructive kind like the black tails that seem to like eating the weeds…
