Last Saturday night at 3am my wife awoke upon hearing sounds from the garden. Turned out to be two very large black bears in the process of pulling down and destroying our bird feeders- they left as soon as she opened the window.
The following evening at 7:30 (after all attractants had been removed from the yard) we watched one of the bears amble through the garden and out through the back towards the co-housing development (we live near the top of Sawyer Hill Road).
