Bear????

[N Loving]

Thanks for all the intel.  Good chance it is the same Bear (imo)
Lil Red was back checking trash cans about dark.  Not good.

That tawny cinnamon was here on our deck around 4 pm, reaching for a hummingbird feeder. I just happened to look out the window at that very moment. Scared him off before he grabbed it and he launched over the side of the deck and headed for the road. After he was gone, I found the suet feeder on the ground, a little smashed and empty. First bear we’ve had stop here for a couple of years. He clearly knows what to go after. Never saw this one before. Big enough, so probably a male.

p.s. The photos that are powered look like a much darker bear but could just be photo artifact. The one I saw is a tawny red, quite beautiful but very light compared to the photos.
