high five!
5 bears. FIVE! A mama and her four cubs today, all up in a tree (birch? cottonwood?).
NOT an everyday sighting, even in Montana,
especially in the midst of an average day of swim lessons and trips to Costco, Target, and Joann Fabrics.
Quite a spectacle, they were, of course.
The highway patrol were there asking folks to take a quick look and/or a picture and then get back in their cars and keep moving.
A few hours later, on our way back home, the numbers of cars and people had grown dramatically, many with tripods and big long lenses.
They're hoping the bears will all come down after dark and go on their merry way.
