I was sitting in our cabin this afternoon when a dark moving shape caught my eye.
It was a small black bear, probably a two or three-year-old. It sniffed at our fire pit and stuck its snout in the pail of water we keep nearby..
I grabbed my camera and stepped outside. I made the mistake of making a clucking sound to attract its attention. I did get its attention and when it saw that eight-foot tall strange critter, it galloped off before I could even frame the picture.
“Eight-foot tall critter”? A five-foot-nine guy standing on a two-and-a-half foot stoop can look very imposing to an animal who might never have seen a human being.
