Mom Bear
Mom Bear – now this is a good size bear. These two visited our place two years ago. I saw the little bear first and again stood outside my back door with a 600mm lens and was photographing away when all of a sudden, mom came out of the woods.
I have to admit, my heart rate went up a bit when I saw her. She was so big and quite beautiful. These two trashed the feeder and again I had already put everything away when I first figured out they were here.
I don’t want them staying around, one has to respect these giant animals and give them space. They stuck around for about 4 days and then were gone. Bears are always on the search for food, if there isn’t any available they will move on as these two did.

Love that last picture ..”can you please fill the bird bath, I’m a little parched!”
I like how they look right at me, I am not sure they saw me, but they could hear the shutter go on the camera and would look then.
I love bears. So cute, and they will kill you.
Yes, cute but deadly.
I can certainly see why anyone would NOT want to mess with a cub when momma bear is nearby.
Yes, she wad so big. I thought junior was big until she wondered out of the woods.
Best seen from a distance through a very long lens.
do you think it might be the same bear? They really are beautiful…from a distance.
I am not sure. It definitely could be, it says they tend to take the same route on their journeys to find food.
Unbearably cute.
They sure are. 😊
Such big and beautiful bears! And you were able to
get great photos! Wow! Were you camouflaged?
Thank you Eddie. I was standing right next to the back door of our cabin and not moving a muscle. I don’t think they see that well, they rely on their great sense of smell. He could here my shutter button on the camera and would turn to look in my direction, but he never really saw me I don’t think.
It’s getting harder and harder for bears to simply exist without coming into contact with humans or our buildings. Harder for them to find food too, so many have found foraging in or near houses for human food to have a big payoff! Glad these 2 weren’t aggressive!
Yes, they are running out of habitat in many areas. These that come by here look healthy, which I like to see.
That’s good, glad to hear they’re healthy. I am hoping that means they’re getting healthy sources of food!
Yes, there are so many wild berries up here, my back woods is full of raspberries
Wow! Lovely pic.
Thank you very much Marland
You’re welcome!
Fantastic, what a pleasure to see them up close. Amazing pictures also.
Thank you very much 😊
Beautiful pics of beautiful bears Sandra. Still would be scary being outside with them.
Thank you very much 🙂
