Too Soon

This is what happens when you put out your bird feeders too soon. These three had a feast. :)

[Nancy]

Wow...they are fun huh! Time for a long winter's nap...awesome catch..careful out there!:)

[Taffy]

Where is this that you have bears coming by??? What a great capture but that's a little close to bears for me to feel comfortable!

[April]

The Three Bears came to visit? Looks like they dismantled the bird feeder.

[Sally Ings]

Great capture. Guess they are stocking up before going into hibernation.

@taffy It is northern Nj ,Taffy.We have a pretty large black bear population up here. They don't bother with you unless you leave food around.We really need to wait til they hibernate to set the feeders out.These three are young.They have just been set out on their own by their mom.

[Hope D Jennings]

@aecasey they did!But my handy hubby worked miracles and put it back together.:)

[Hope D Jennings]

@salza they really need to bulk up for the long winter.I don't blame them at all.

[Hope D Jennings]

@nanderson I was in the house,Sally!That is why the pic is blurry.I love a good wildlife image...but I am not that crazy....most if the time anyway.lol

[Lisa]

LOL! After seeing this, I will never complain about squirrels raiding my feeders again.

[Hope D Jennings]

@nanalisarocks hahaha!So true!

[Debbie]

are those bears???? Holy smoke - arent they dangerous?? Great image.

[Leia Smith]

I hope Goldilocks was not around :-)

[Tremerryn]

A fantastic capture, I can't believe this is happening in your garden. Do you have to be careful when you go outside or do they just run if they hear you. Fav

[Jocasta]

oh my goodness me - we don't get many (well any) of those around here.
Fabulous.

[🐞Lucy Dolittle]

Blimey, we may get a magpie or squirrel but this is unreal!!

[Kay Hodges]

Nice capture and fun subject

[Kevin Wallace]

Great capture, Hope!! Never get to see them around here, just clean up after 'em :)

[Rachel]

Wonderful shot, cannot imagine at it is like to see bears so close up

[Daryl O'Hare]

Another reason I'm not going to put out feeders! Our yard seems to provide a lot already. But I have neighbors who keep out the feeders (bears will go there hopefully!). Well, we have very few sightings of bears here, but it has happened. :)

[Allison]

Oh wow......that's amazing.......and there was me feeling like wilderness woman because I have squirrels in my yard :-) lol Fav!!!

[Connie]

Wow...what a great capture. Gave me a smile for the day. And most of us go crazy with the squirrels robbing the bird feeders!! :))

[Michael Phillips]

they a brilliant I love bears. Your garden sounds brilliant.

[Kathy]

What a wonderful shot. I hope it was from a distance.

[Jackie greenfield]

O-M-G, bears ? Really? Huge huge FAV! Do you know how I envy you right now lady ;)"

[Issi Bannerman]

Brilliant capture. Love bears, but not too close!

[Julie Duncan]

Adorable little fellas! I love love LOVE BEARS!!! :)

[Nancy Kehrle]

[Sue Wilde]
