Spotted: One of the Three Bears?


black bear





















It appears Baby Bear, turned defiant Teen Bear, ignored the admonitions of Papa and Mama to stay out of people's yards and to leave bird feed for the birds. Caught in the act a couple of weeks ago here in Litchfield, this black bear enjoyed a snack of bird seed and suet before lumbering back into the woods. As you might have guessed, this family is now taking their feeders down in the evening.
