Comments on: There’s a Bear in Our Bird Feeder http://www.choosingvoluntarysimplicity.com/theres-a-bear-in-our-bird-feeder/ About finding balance in your life, connecting with who you are, and creating a lifestyle where you wake up each morning eagerly anticipating the day ahead.

Hungry as a bear is not a joke. They eat and eat and eat until its time to hibernate. Sort of like some people I know called teenagers. The birds must be quite tiffed-off at the bears keeping them from their seed. And I would be, too. One of the joys in life is watching the birds at the feeders outside my window. Pound for pound, I'll bet the birds eat more than a bear any day. At least they do around here! My cat, who never goes outside, "talks" to them through the window. She would probably hide under the bed if she saw a bear. Me too. That bear must be a cub from last year and he must be very lonely and hungry! Hungry as a bear is not a joke.

You got some great photos though. It must be fun to live near wildlife like you do. My life is city oriented. It is all I have known but I can dream.

That must have been a surprise to see! Once I looked outside and saw a skunk in my backyard but I have never seen a bear even at a distance. You were braver than I would be to go outside and look at it from there. I really enjoy this blog, the writing and the stories really make me feel at home. Thank-you! Wow!

Your writing is wonderfully readable and your topics are dear to my heart as well, perhaps because I live in rural New England too. Great pictures of the black bear! I know they make their way around here occasionally, but I haven't seen one at the feeders yet. I am hoping my dog is leaving enough scent around the yard to keep them away.
