Note
Saw the mama bear and two cubs strolling across the yard, headed toward the fruit trees, so we went out to watch. One of them pulled an apple down and started on it, but then they made a beeline for the pear tree, which is pretty loaded right now, dropping the half eaten apple and gorging on pears. The little guys were climbing, while mom was just standing up and grabbing them, alternating with rubbing her back on the trunk. Then she spotted a bird house and started pulling it, breaking the pole and then spending a good while before she chewed the top off and got inside, scooped out whatever she found inside. They were watching us watching them, but seemed fairly unconcerned. And eventually they headed down toward the neighbor's and then we heard some excited noises from the neighbors' house.
