The bears come by in spring and late fall but as we don't have fruit trees they don't hang around.

We have 3 types here, Rufous, Calliope and Black Chinned but the Black chinned are so aggressive they chase the others away. We have had some cooler weather too but still no rain and the fires in our area still going strong but at least there don't seem to be any new ones. Thanks for commenting - have a great day!
