Our Black Bear Visitor

Sunday, August 22nd, 2010

This young black bear with a shiny coat does not seem to have a big fear of humans as it actually took a couple steps up our back deck and looked in a window. The bear did not take off like most others when I went outside. My wife and I were wondering if someone might have fed it. As a reminder to those visiting the mountains, never feed wildlife!
