Beware: Bears at Feeders
This morning, Stiles Thomas reported that a bear tore down three of his feeders in Allendale (above and below).
On the Fyke e-mail list this morning, Betty McDonnell reported that a bear had ripped down several of her feeders.
Bears also tore down several feeders in Allendale late last year.
Time to take your feeders in at night? Definitely. Plase let me know if a bear has taken down your feeder(s) recently.
The "Bird Watcher" column I wrote about bears at feeders early last December is here.

Thanks, Molly. At least three feeder stations in Allendale were hit on Tuesday night.

Sometime Tuesday night, one large feeder was destroyed and all the sunflower seeds poured on the ground. Also the metal suet feeder and a smaller feeder were torn off the pole and taken “Heaven knows where” If it was not a bear, than we had a visit by BIG FOOT.
