Bear in Durham Backyard

Jim and Cindi from Durham, CT sent me these fab photos of a bear enjoying sunflower seeds in their side yard recently. Thought I would share. Last fall there was a report of a bear beside my office in Farmington one morning. I grabbed my camera and ran so fast, but I was out of luck. Perhaps the bear will come back this year, my fingers are crossed. I love to see wildlife in its natural habitat. i.e. The Suburbs.
