Well Hellooooooo there . . . !

Friday, March 28th, 2008

When you work at home you deal with plenty of distractions but I sure didn’t expect to get THESE distractions today! :-)

I was working in my office this morning, which is at the back of the house. Suddenly I heard a loud CRASH! out on the deck in back. Usually when I hear that it’s a neighborhood cat or racoon causing trouble - but today I looked out and saw three BEARS on our deck, ransacking our bird feeder!

It was a Mama and two goods-sized cubs. They stayed awhile (long enough to empty the bird feeder) so I was able to get some decent pictures.

Animal Control to the rescue! They chased the bears away.

So much for our bird feeder! They ripped it right off the pole. :-)

We live in a suburban area that has plenty of woods surrounding it, so we’re no strangers to bears, deer and smaller critters. In fact the bears have been using our yard as a pass-through to other areas for some time. But until today they didn’t notice our bird feeder.

Guess the birds will be out of luck for awhile, I can’t put the feeder back up now that the bears know it’s there. They’ll just keep coming back. The birds will have to be satisfied with a few seeds scattered on the lawn for awhile! :-)
