it's bear season again.

Not an actual sighting yet, but circumstantial evidence reveals our yearly visitor has returned. I discovered this recent bear scat at our place today. Time for us to be on high alert again when out and about. Wildlife abounds! :)

Thanks for posting this photo, Nikki! I have a book called "Scats and Tracks," but it has drawings of scat, not photos. This photo confirms a few sightings I have had over the years when I wondered, "Bear scat or not bear scat?" Yes, indeed, it was bear scat I had found!
You guys stay on the alert out there!

You're welcome, Dana. Yes, photos are better than drawings for identification. Glad to be of help. :) We usually have a black bear coming around here every year, so we're kind of used to being on extra alert now through fall. It's that time of year. ;)
