Mischief Makers

**Feel free to zoom in to view this**

 

A few years ago in August, mom and her cubs came for a visit during the day, no less. They enjoyed the bird seed that was in my squirrel and "bear proof" feeder. She just reached up to the branch it was hanging from and pulled it down onto the grass. The lid has a heavy metal ring so it came off the branch easily. No damage this time, just a few scratches on the lid. She's smarter than the average bear!

One time before that, somewhere in their travels, they were all tagged with silver ear clips.

Funny thing though...last month one of them came back at night for a visit. In fact it was right around Halloween. The only way I knew that was the following morning, I saw my metal pole that I hang bird feeders on was at an angle with muddy prints on it. Again, no damage was done to the pole because I bring my bird food in every night.
