Horned Grebe at the Celery Farm
My first ever here. And the spring arrivals are arriving! The grebe was No. 186 on my Celery Farm life…
On Monday I wrote:
The other night, we heard some noises outside. The following morning, we found our metal trash can popped open the way Popeye used to open a can of spinach.
The next night I put the trash can inside permanently and left out a bar of pepper suet and the trail cam.
The following morning, I downloaded the above image.
Our cat is black and is an indoor cat, so I don't think it could be Pook.
Any idea what this is?
The consensus was a black bear. After denting the metal trash can in an effort to pop it open, the bear dragged a 20-pound bag of birdseed for 10 yards into the Celery Farm.
