My closest encounter with a bear, so far, this season…..

As I know, (I word it that way because I’m the only one who will ever read this), I put out bird seed every morning about 5:30. The flock of Jays are always waiting for it. Then, anywhere from 5:40 to 6am the crow will come and look in the front window to get my attention at which point I get up from my easy chair and go to the fridge to get her treat on my way to the back deck. This happened as expected one morning this week. She came about 5:45. I got up, grabbed her treat and headed out the back door, fully expecting to see her waiting on the fence rail. She wasn’t there and neither were any of the other birds. I figured the raccoons were around again and had scared the birds away. I looked around for them but instead of seeing a coon I say a nice big black bear as he/she came up the rock beside the house. It was just on the other side of the railing from me. It stopped in surprise and we looked at each other. It then proceeded on up and over and down into the neighbor's back yard. As soon as it was gone, the crow dropped in as did the Jays. Cool.
