Hidden Springs has a bear cub (last year's cub) hanging out up here. I haven't seen him yet, but he's been in back yards that are along the creek. Evidently, he was here last year and discovered the community farm and the wonderful melons it produces so he's back for more this year. Cougars, coyotes, deer, antelope, and even wolves have been spotted this year.
He evidently likes to play tether ball.
He's handy at taking down bird feeders and hummingbird feeders and stealing all the goodies out of them.
After being raised in Garden Valley, I'm actually terrified of bears, too many, too close. But still how cool is that?
That is SO cool!! Look how cute he is. And clever, too! Why bother wasting all that energy, you know, chasing down bunnies when you can just raid a bird-feeder or two?
ReplyDeleteDid a neighbor send those pictures? Are they freaked out that he'll eat their children or little dogs or anything? Hopefully they think it's cool too.
There was a letter with those pics from Fish and Game, warning people to take in bird feeders, pet food, etc, and CHILDREN----not to encourage the bear.
ReplyDeleteHe's not a baby,-----interesting, but scary ! He's over in the newest part of the community, not near us. yeowwww
