Our trash, post-bear!
So much for "critter proof" trash cans. This morning our garbage, and most in our neighborhood, was scavenged by a bear. Interestingly, I have a difficult time getting the locking lids off these cans so I am rather impressed by this black bear (there is a huge tooth hole in the lid and can where he opened it). Our neighbor said it happened at midnight and I'm sorry I missed it.
Black bears are on a day-long search for food. They follow their noses to seek out easy pickings. Humans have a responsibility to eliminate unnatural foods. Bears are opportunistic foragers and will continue to return to a location where food remains available. When the food is removed, the bears will eventually move on.
Needless-to-say, this will not happen again. We are now very bear aware!
