Bear Sightings

Well, so far this week we have had four (4) bear sightings at Blackbearry Ridge.  On Friday morning, Cookie woke us up as a bear was in front of the house.  Brent woke up Conley and Stella (along with the rest of the Birmingham crew) to see the visitor.  It turned out to be General Kudzu.  The bear stayed outside for a while and even lounged around the downstairs bedroom window, such that Conley and Stella got a very up close view.

Then about thirty minutes later, a mother bear with three (3) cubs ventured by the ridge and put on a good show in the woods on the side of the house.  The cubs were climbing the trees and their coordination is not up to par which is really funny.

Just now on Saturday afternoon, we just had a visit from a different black bear.  This one made a circle of the house and then headed up the hill.  Most of the bears come down the path next to house an usually go down hill.  He later came back by the house and then headed down the hill.

    1. Wish you and Kathy had come. Never to early to start planning for next year, but then again, no planning needed - just show up.
