It is not uncommon to see the occasional bear in this neighborhood. I have seen them meandering through or pulling service berries from the shrubs ever since I moved here. But this year I suspect there may be a black bear denning close by. Usually the bears are only seen moving through in the autumn. But last spring I saw two across the lake and one, a cub had been hanging around the empty bird feeder, and this fall I’ve seen at least one, an adult, about 150 pounds, on a regular basis over the past few months. By now I would have expected the animals to have moved back into the mountains in preparation for winter, but this morning I found fresh sign along the trail not far from the house.
