We first saw the bear in the lawn behind the house at the north end of the raised bed garden. We were at Mary's raise bed flower garden less than 50 yards from the bear when we first spotted it. The bear then walked down along the garden, past the firewood logs and through the pines to the road. The bear stood in Joyce Road for a while to look at us before it crossed the road and walk through the field to Orion & Betty's (Burns) woods. The bear didn't seem to be very afraid and just walked around.
This bear had been at Paul Cook's and Aggi got pictures of it climbing onto their deck. The bear was also at Jim Kovel's just before it came to our place.
This looks to be the same bear that got in Gerry & Janet Miner's bird feeder twice last week.
