Monsoon & Bears Make the Scene In SW Colorado

If it is not deer eating the beans and parsley, it is the other wildlife, such as this young bear that was spotted checking the bird feeders at 6:45 in the evening the other day. We are told that beating on the door did not scare off this young bear.

The picture of the bear pulling down the feeder through the glass door did not turn out well. So the photographer opened the door to get the next picture, but the sound of the door opening chased the bear up the tree. Finally, they snapped this photo above of the young bear peeking from behind the tree out front.

The photographer tried throwing a tennis ball at him, but missed by about 3-yards. They said and I quote, "I could swear he (bear) laughed."

The bear finally ran off to the north, but when 9:00p.m. came around so did the bear. This time trying to open the front glass door.

As they reported to me, "I banged on it (door) and he (bear) ran away. Tomorrow morning, I am gathering the seed feeders up, putting them away for awhile. This bear is a little too aggressive and unafraid to be ignored.   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
