Nice to find we had a visitor in the middle of the night

We have one roaming the neighborhood these past few weeks. I saw him the last week (about 10 feet from me on a path). Just a little guy. It's likely his first time away from Mom and it's been so mild out that the bears don't hibernate until mid December it seems. We are very suburban, but have bears and coyotes all the time. Only a few cougars in the near by parks in the last few years though.

My brother can't have bird feeders in the fall, until the furballs hunker down for their naps.

Haven't seen any on my side of the valley, but I've seen a few while traveling.

I think I will avoid visiting that area until hibernation sets in. On second thoughts, it is probably a bit cold around then. I think I will head for somewhere warm instead.
