That bear was there for a long time it seemed. I missed it climbing the tree, my neighbor mentioned that she also saw it do the climb. Last year there was a mom and two cubs, the cubs were pretty skittish and went up the trees frequently, amazing how quick they move. I also missed the two foxes and racoon. There was a racoon during the winter that had no tail, it came around just about every night. It chased off anything that got near it, including the other racoons.

I'm glad you're enjoying watching as much as I do, it's so much better than most everything on television.

I have a couple of buddies watching it now as well. How far away from the water are you? I see a couple of mallards from time to time.

There's a brook leading into Winnisquam maybe 150 feet or so straight off on the right side of the camera view, and the lake itself is about 600 yards off to the left side. The ducks hang out in the brook and must nest back there somewhere. I'll get a camera out there this year
