After exploring our yard and house, peering into windows, and walking onto our back porch, the grizzly bear from two nights ago settled in for a snack of bird seed. Thankfully, it hasn't returned since that night. It was merely passing through in search of food, as bears often do. In light of this, we made the responsible choice to remove all bird feeders and store them away. While this may have momentarily puzzled the birds, they'll adapt and find food elsewhere. We'll gladly set the feeders back up when winter arrives, ensuring our feathered friends have the nourishment they need once the bears are fast asleep. By taking these precautions, we're not only protecting our wildlife but also creating a safer environment for all.
