“i am shocked that little plastic collar wasn't more effective than it was.”

“Moral of the story: Make the protective collars strong enough for the bear to stand on and graze. That way the weight of the diner does not bend the support post.”

“I just walked out to the edge of the woods and yep, there was the bear...so, I got dressed, again, to go chase him away. When I got near I realized this bear was WAY smaller than the other...I decided mama had to be nearby so kissed my bird feeder station goodbye rather than risk getting hurt...”

“Geez...and my in-laws complained that they had to give up their bird feeding station because of racoons!!! They'd absolutely freak out if they had a bear show up. I always love your stories, Mata!”

“Heh heh it's funny that you mention that because that sort of thing happens here in Jersey on a regular basis. Many towns require you to keep your trash cans inside the garage or a locked shed for that very reason...”

“I didn't know bears liked bird seed.

I love those pictures. He looks like he's saying "Who? Me?" What a cutie pie.”
