Re: [puma-news] night visitor

This sounds like the same bear that has been pulling over our trash can
to get the cat litter out. That's all that we put in there until the
morning of the trash pick-up. Its happened about three times, and I'm
surprised that he or she has not found better places to look for food.

If this bear is the one that we saw Sunday evening walking through our
yard, its a medium-sized, blond-brown bear. This was about 7:00 pm. The
bear saw and/ or heard us from about 200 feet away (we were behind our
wire fences) and left the area after only a minute or so.
