The bear is back.

I think.

Some thing popped the top off the compost bin and ate a melon and maybe some other choice scraps. No scratches or signs - and I'm thinking racoons, although certainly industrious enough to get in, would have to struggle more to get the lid off. The bear, however, had the strength to pop it off, although it's amazing he didn't destroy it in the process.

Just in case any of the neighborhood bears are reading this: Thanks for not ruining the bin! Your efforts are much appreciated. And, hey, the other day the kids gathered about three quarters of a million acorns and spread them along the back trail, so if you want, lie in wait back there and snag some of the hooved rodents as they gambole through. Once you've had venison, you'll find compost and bird seed pales in comparision! Cheers, and happy dining!

And, just to cover all bases, here's one to the racoons: Think big! Go for the deer! Them's good eatin'!

I personally would rather that the fauna hereabouts keep thinking vegetarian. The last thing we want is for them raccoons to get into the habit of eating meat.

I'm glad the raccoons only show up around here on the roadside - I think I'd actually worry more about them than about the bear(s).

As long as they stay out of the house and don't try to eat any family or friends all is well as far as I'm concerned!.
