Black Bear Visits Bangor Back Yard

Imagine looking out your back window after a hard day at work and seeing this:
That's what happened to one courthouse worker this evening. The black bear, the only kind you'll find in Pennsylvania, can run 35 mph, swim, climb trees and is an omnivore who will consume 20,000 calories per day. That's why it will ramble into someone's back yard. Mmmm. Bird seed. Mmmm. Garbage.

Black bear attacks are extremely rare.

You can read more about them here.

  4. So nice to see that whoever this is still has the original iron fence and a brick house instead of aluminum siding and hedges.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
