Saw a bear

| 1 Comment

Well, I saw the bear's ass anyway. I heard noise around 9:30 and thought it might be the racoon on the porch. I had taken the the bird feeder down so I was surprised to hear it trying to get onto the roof.

Well.

It was trying to get to the hummingbird feeder. And it wasn't a racoon. It was a bear. Before you ask me how tall it was, I saw it when it was on all fours...heading off the porch. I saw an enormous bear ass. Not to be confused with a bare ass.

Louis's tail was poofed out like a cream puff and I panicked and shut all windows and doors and turned all the outside lights on. And because my camera is broken (ugh!) I didn't snap a shot. Sigh.

Later when I was in bed, I heard it again. My oh my what's a bear doing in early June going after my hummingbird feeder? The next morning, I saw the tell-tale signs of bear claw on my window. His sticky paws left a smudge on the window by the kitchen sink. I tried to get a picture with and old film camera...we shall see. And then I forgot to take the feeder in when I left so who knows what I'll find next week.

And then I saw a hawk perched on my railing...woulda been a beautiful picture... sigh. She was scouting for chipmunks. Mighta got one, I dunno. Louis almost caught one.

Anyway, that was my weekend. Anyone else?
