A few days ago a bear came to our bird feeder and spent a long time eating up all the bird seed. It stood on its hind legs to reach the feeder and pulled it down rather gently, took the top off and laid down to eat the seed. Since it is a clear glass feeder you could see it inserting its tongue into the feeder to extract the seed.
I had plenty of time to make some great shots of the bear close up and personal with my new camera.
I will post these sometime soon.

Winter Again?
We woke up this morning to a bit of snow on the ground. After the wonderful spring weather we have been having, this seems like such an insult. However it is a good day to stay cozy inside and do some painting.
The other day we saw a golden eagle flying down by the water in front of our house. It was cruising along the shoreline looking for something to eat. It was an absolutely huge majestic bird!
We finally had several visits from a pair of male rose breasted grosbeaks and quite a few evening grosbeaks at our feeder. We hadn't seen any throughout the winter. Such pretty birds!
