Lions and Tigers and Bears - Yes, Bears!

News article on local NPR this morning indicated that a young black bear was spotted roaming the streets of Willimantic yesterday. While they *attempted* to sedate him, they apparently didn't give him enough because he simply ambled off and disappeared into the woods. It seems that the bear population has grown recently in the area, and spottings are becoming very frequent.

Don't put out a bird feeder in the summer. Besides attracting every squirrel and jay for 40 miles, the bears like a quick nosh.

But the birds in the area are so pretty!!! It's amazing, actually, the variety we have in the area.
