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!
