Recently we had a visit of a Momma bear and her three cubs. I just happened to be outside working on the side of the house when they came down. I didn't even realize they were out there until I came back in through my front door and spotted them out the kitchen window. They were at my deer feeder.
Here is one of the cubs checking out my squirrel feeder. They soon all climbed up into the tree.
Here's Momma and baby sharing my sunflower seeds!
Here's Mom trying to reach another feeder that was too high for her. To the right is a empty tortoise pen. There were times in the past last year, where I had Greek tortoises in there and the bears never bothered them at night, but just ate the sunflower seeds.
Mom surprised me when she jumped on top of my deer feeder to lick up seeds I had put out for the birds.
The bear visit was for 40 minutes and my wife and I took some great pictures and video. This was the third time we have seen them and oddly enough it is always on a Friday evening. We haven't seen them since.
