A Visit From The Neighbors
May 16th, 2011 § 8 Comments
Early yesterday evening I went to the chicken coop to check for eggs. I noticed that a few things had been disturbed - a bucket upturned, chicken wire dislodged, the large set of antlers that rests against the chicken run had been knocked over. There was no wind, so I figured the only explanation was a curious bear. It hadn’t been too determined, just curious. Later in the evening I ventured back outside, a little more cautiously this time, to put the chickens away for the night and I spotted these three bears up on one of the hills behind the house. The mother and one of the cubs disappeared over the hill while the other “little” guy stayed to munch on some tufts of grass before following the others. Pierre was able to capture them on tape.
They’re awake! Time to come home!
THE THREE BEARS!! Aren’t you glad you got to see them?
WOW!!! Were the chickens traumatized? Amazing video!
The terrain sure doesn’t look too nutritious, but I am glad you got to see your neighbors before you leave. And I hope the Ladies will be safe and have a happy and prosperous life until that time when some human wants chicken for supper. We can hardly wait until you get home.
Awesome!
That is so cool! I would’ve liked some commentary though Pierre.
Cool to be able to see them. Hope you and the chickens all stay safe and well!
Very exciting, from a distance
Looking forward to your return!
