We've been seeing lots of evidence of a Black Bear, especially at The Sea Ranch. Joe Dobrenski's camera caught the big bear. Here are two stills from the video that Joe's son provided.

And here is one of the videos.

 

Amy Ruegg came across Black Bear scat the same week of Joe's sighting. It's studded with huckleberries.

And several weeks ago Amy came across this snag where a Black Bear was digging for insects, possibly termites.

Yep, Black Bears are year round residents of the Mendonoma Coast! Thanks to Joe and Amy for allowing me to share their photos and the video here with you.

It's a magnificent day here today - sunny, warm with little or no breeze.
