Not sure why it can't be seen-it loaded -you can see the rest of them on my website :3
Your first photo is sure an attention-grabber. Nice series.
Yeah that first picture is great. Nice series of photos.
I'll add some more-but for the rest see: http://www.pawild.net/home/gallery.php?cat_id=124&p=view_cat&page=1
Laura-you want more-I gots more! I also have some from last year and the years before. I picked the best ones-and didn't think you wanted a huge bunch of photos. These are from the actual spotting. I took these photos.
Did I not already have an ID?
Wow, cool spotting! I like your additional info, Seto, you should add some of that to the actual spotting! That's the kind of stuff we wanna know! :D What a very interesting neighbour you have, haha! Love that first pic, so cute with his ears poking from behind the ferns :)
Liam-I didn't include the trash can photos-the series is a lot longer. He was unusually active in 2010-during the daytime. He had us hiding behind cars and stuff. LOL! Which is how I got these great photos. I shot about 50 photos that day. Carol-it's a big bear! Have some of smaller ones too. Bears like our neighborhood-I'm pretty used to them now-every year around March 12th to 16th-they get my bird feeders-and that's the end of bird feeding until winter.
Fantastic! Love the first photo! Hopefully he's not messing with your trashcans.
