Bear Sightings

The first bear M ever saw in the canyon was last year on a Sunday afternoon a month before the flood.  This summer we saw 4 bears on our commutes!!  M thinks because a lot of the houses are still vacant, the bears are free to roam a little more.
The first bear was enjoying a fish supper across the river!

The second and third bears we saw the same night, within a half mile of each other.  The second bear had found a vacant cabin and had raided it.  You can see the chip bags next to him on the stump.


The third bear was just up the road rummaging for some berries on the bushes.  As C made note that night. One bear wasn't going to be wild much longer, but the other bear was a "good" bear!!

We didn't get a picture of the fourth bear, but we saw it first week of school in the morning hiking up from the river from what I imagine was a breakfast of fish.  Another good bear as C would say!  Since it was close to where we saw the first bear, it very easily could have been the same bear.  Especially with fish being the meal, I'm sure it was the same bear who is a very good fishing bear!
