We see a bear or two in our "yard" probably 4 or more times per week during the summer. They're far better neighbors than people. They're quieter and all they ever want is to borrow a cup of sugar water. Learn how to live in bear country. Keep your trash secure, don't leave food in your car outside and remember to bring in your hummingbird feeders.

Great advice.
