Black Bear

A black blur of movement, caught my eye
I looked out the window to see a young black bear walk by
I was on the phone and I spoke so loud through an open sliding door
It ran away because they do not like loud noise
It is one of the best defenses from any harm
There was no time for a photo as it disappeared into the woods
They visit my yard each summer and this time it was late
It is a sight to see each summer, but worth the wait

Lindsay Laurie Date: 9/1/2021 6:41:00 PM Hello Heidi ... we don't have bears and maybe that is a good thing. I believe that they can be very unpredictable in there search for an easy meal - thank you Heidi - Lindsay Login to Reply Heidi Sands Date: 9/1/2021 7:07:00 PM Yes. They hate loud noise though and it is best to make noise if at risk. Thank you Lindsay. I hope you are well :)
