That creep! Bike man and I were mad when we woke up this morning. Apparently, we had a visitor last night while we slept. Never heard a sound!
Can you believe this? Three bird feeders on metal posts just flattened. One of the metal post actually broke....the metal split, so Bike man will have to cut the post. We are 99% sure this visitor was a bear. The only tracks we found were near the charcoal grill and it only showed the bears claws, not the actual bear paw. This must be a bear that just awoke from hibernation and is underweight, but very hungry.Besides the damaged bird feeders, the front shelf on the charcoal grill split and broke when it fell over. Not sure why the bear went for the charcoal grill when I actually cooked on our gas grill last night. Thank heavens the bear did not come up on our deck where we keep our gas grill.
And I was wondering why the kitty cats were not sleeping with us last night! Too much excitement happening outside....the cats didn't want to miss out on the bear show!
YIKES!!!! Are there many bear in the area???
ReplyDeleteDave....we've never had problems with bears before, but guess this bear likes our yard!
ReplyDeleteLet's hope it doesn't come back for seconds.
ReplyDeleteLucky the bear didn't do more damage! How is your compost pile? I've heard of them digging through the newer scraps to eat. They are definately out and hungry! Better be extremely cautious on your runs.
ReplyDeletehard to think that you had a bear in your yard. Are you sure that the kitties were not under your bed? Hum?
ReplyDeleteThat is incredible!! Scary no doubt and its a wonder you didn't hear anything! Lets hope he/she they just kept on moving and you were a mere stopping point for a few minutes :)
