2nd Bear of the year


Black dot in the center of the photo is the bear.

This evening right after work I took the dogs up to the lake for a hike. It was raining lightly. I wanted to look and see if there was any Salamander activity up there. I noticed that there are no Spring Peepers calling at the lake. As we aproached a swampy area I heard some calling. I stopped because one sounded like a Chorus Frog. I noticed Petey looking intently into the other side of the swamp, then Monty started doing the same thing. I turned around to see a bear sitting up tight next to a tree not 50 feet away watching us. He was a nice size bear. Make my night. Now we are off to look for more Spotted Salamanders. Got to love this time of year!
