Jon,

Yesterday at around 12:45 P.M.  I was walking Riley up Mayotte Rd.  When I and a

rather large sow black bear with her cub surprised each other.   Fortunately, I was

far enough away from her  that I yelled out at her and "spooked" her to run back into

the woods with her cub.  We turned around and walked back down as I didn't want to

press my luck any further. 

She was not scrawny or sickly looking.  She appeared to be a large and healthy girl!

I returned a couple hours later and left a note at the closest residence where I saw

her.  I checked for tracks but couldn't locate any at that time. 

I'm sure it's probably one of those one in a million chance encounters and she is

probably long gone but I figured I'd let you know as you have better opportunities

and contacts to let our neighbors know that it is that time of the year when we

have wildlife moving about!

The resident on Mayotte Rd called me back and advised me she would be taking

down her bird feeders.

Your neighbor,

Mark

Thanks for the news! I'll be on the lookout!
