I was doing some work on my computer and kept hearing this clanking sound in the backyard. "What is the neighbor up to now?" I thought as he's always working on some project or another. Well, it wasn't the neighbor as you can see!
@joysabin Thank you Joy! Actually I scared him off just by talking to him while I took his picture. He decided breakfast wasn't as enjoyable with the camera lady babbling away and left.
Thank you Joy, Diane, Taffy, Bill, Monique, Dorre, Lou Ann, Lynn and Rob!
We do not get bears often-more this year than before but not like some do in this area. You will all scold me but I took this shot outside on my deck while he tried to figure out how to get more seeds out. I was close enough to the door to run but black bears are typically not attackers- unless you go after their food and I was not about to do that. I think he found me quite annoying as the whole time I was shooting, I kept talking to him- that was enough to make the meal less appealing and off he rambled to raid someone else's backyard.
@randystreat Thank you Kathy! Done with bird feeding until a new feeder arrives. I don't know what he snapped, but it won't work properly now and I can't figure out how to fix it. This one has served me well though!
@salza Thank you Sally! I took a second look at the feeder today and was able to figure out why it wasn't working correctly and then how to fix it- so it's back in working order now!
@jyokota I bring it in every night so that the deer, raccoons, possum and bears don't get to it- but as you can see- this one visited in broad daylight. Of course, I was on the deck taking photos...
Better a paw print on the door than one inside the car!
@jyokota The only thing you will NOT find me running out to photograph is a snake. I'm deathly afraid of them. Of course, I keep my distance from the skunks too. (o;

Great capture
