Description

This 3 yr old Black Bear is wild and I would frequently see him or her with it's littermate. He was one of 4 cubs. These days, he or she is alone and roams our property often. My dogs and I keep our distance, but sometimes he gets curious. He came face to face with my Border Collie one day, as he stuck his head up over an embankment, my dog happened to be going to look down the embankment. They scared each other and both ran away from each other. A funny moment I will never forget. This image was taken late in the afternoon on a day when he approached our bird feeders. I moved closer and he moved closer until I realized after looking into his eyes, this was close enough. This is image is NOT cropped, which tells you I was too close.
