...in the backyard!! I got it on video (on our actual video camera), Buckwheat thought he could kill it from the 3rd story deck, again...of course. But it was just eating trash; same snacking spot as last July's bear.
I heard munching and crunching, so I got up to look. There was a big black shadow "thing" on the hill, and I knew JUST what it was.
So I said, "Buckwheat!! come here! come on sleepy head!!" ha! So we watched it for a good 5 minutes before I decided to be brave and call the neighbors.
Even though it was after midnight I called Cat and they were all excited and happy that I called to tell them.
It was a good sized bear, too! FINALLY I saw one this summer. Without doing my hikes I thought I might not see one this summer. Glad I did. Buckwheat's not getting a late-walk tonight.
Sincerely,
The Neighborhood Bear Watch
Post-sighting pictures just for fun:
This is how light it is at 12:30 am, facing West:
Buckwheat now is on guard-dog/bear-watch patrol:
It will be a long night for him! "all in a night's work:"

That's great babe! Nice catch. I'm sorry I missed it but I will look for some bears in Afghanistan.
XO, Mark
You should try to post the video! My parents have had several bears in the yard in New mexico. Sometimes literally RIGHT outside the window.
So strange to have it light in the middle of the night. Is it hard to get used to?
That is crazy! Pretty sure I would never leave the house if there were bears around...
I am just curious. How do you sleep when it is that light outside? Do you ever get used to it?
I too am curious how you sleep at night with it being so light out...do have super dark shades or blinds on all your windows? And I can't believe you had a BEAR...in your YARD!!! Crazy! That's awesome though. I love how Buckwheat thinks he's bigger than he really is? haha. Stay safe from the bears!
ahhh! good thing you have a dog protecting you! :) i can't believe how light it is at 12:30. that would take some getting used to!
I don't think I would feel AS bad calling the neighbors at such a late hour if it still looked like 6 or 7 PM outside. You're so brave! If I was at home with no husband and my teeny little puppy for protectiong I'd be scared! Bears are so smart aren't they? He could have probably broken into your house... ahhh!
