Multiplying bears

Just a pause to say thanks to those of you who have submitted black bear sightings for our map of bears in unusual places around the region.

I think I had five or six on there when I first posted the map in the DataSphere. There are now three times that.

Some cool ones came in, too. Jason Ball, who lives in Amherst County not too far from Buena Vista, sent in three sightings, including a regular visitor who fishes in the pond on his property. Bruce Cody told of one invader who left claw marks 9-feet up a tree from trying to reach a bird feeder.

Those are just a couple. Many more there of roadside sightings, mama's and babies in transit, and others. So, again, thanks, and keep 'em coming.
