Another surprise ... from my friend in Wisconsin!
This time, it's about BLACK BEARS. Not teddy bears, but real bears.
According to his email, Mike had a black bear invasion last night. Am sure that was
a horrifying experience, as you can see from the excerpts below.
Every bird feeder ... five in all ... was ripped down. The feeders hang on big railroad-spike-looking nails, but each of those nails was bent (so loose that I could just wiggle them out). These big feeders were scattered everywhere, thrown around the front yard like so many empty beer cans after hunters had sucked them dry.
I have "squirrel-stumpers," big silo-type cages that really do defy thieving squirrels and raccoons, but these bears (apparently having awakened from hibernation and voraciously hungry) stood up on their back legs and RIPPED them down, then tore off the lids and the handles. Hiro, not a single pellet of food left. They went through two five-pound bags of sunflower seeds.
I called my neighbor-friends to see if they'd had a visit too ... no. Anyway, with all this hoopla the neighbors sent this video.
And folks, this video is a must-see. The little shimmy he does is ... hilarious. But come to think of it, I do the same, too, whenever I feel itchy on my back. (ha ha)
Enjoy!
