Bear scat Lake Superior Park |
I've never seen one around here before, although we've seen signs of them! All cats were in, thankfully, as Daisy & Buster like to charge the deer and the turkeys. Their rear paws look like human feet. The scat is HUGE!
Ironically, it walked right by the 'bear crossing' sign!

We had just sat down to dinner. I'm glad all of the cats were in, as they tend to charge the deer and chase the turkeys. I don't know WHAT they would do if they saw a bear. Buster was in the Muskoka room watching.

I think I would be thrilled to see a bear in my yard. I assume it is hungry and going after food in your bird feeders. Cool photos.
It must be quite a thrill to see something like this amble through your yard.
Wow - a black bear. How amazing!
And thank you for hosting Our World. Just a little wondering - it would be lovely if you could reverse the order of our entries on Our World so that the latest entries appear first rather than last. This would mean everyone would have a chance to appear at the top of the list when they first link up... Just a suggestion!
Isn't he a beauty!
Great photos and a very dramatic post. Thanks.
I can't imagine what it must be like to see a bear behind
... the house.
Have a great week.
Haven't seen any this year!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
We have seen the occasional bear in the back, one that has wandered off the main corridor over the hill to the east. It looks like yours stopped to investigate. Wonderful opportunity for some stunning pictures.
He's cute...but I am very glad all your domestic critters were safe inside. You live in a Nature Park!
What a surprise! I recently discovered a fellow (Mike Mcintosh) near Huntsville via facebook who has a Bear Sanctuary. His website is :
http://bearwithus.org/. If you have access to facebook he has a fantastic page that posts some very interesting stories and photos about his bears. Evidently when the MNR gets a call about an injured bear, he is the person they call.

Yes, Art, I have seen that page! We need it since MNR cutbacks have severely impacted the Bear Wise program.
