BLACK BEAR PAYS A VISIT

Just had to post this one,yesterday i had to run into town Huntsville doing some local chores,
when as i past the local Tim Hortons coffee shop i could see three large black blobs high in the trees behind the store,as i pulled in to get a better view , there was a large female and two cubs high up in the tree taking a nap....after spending the night in the dumpsters eating their fill of old donuts...

black bear algonquin park

had some spare time this afternoon so took the opportunity to leave the Inn and drive into algonquin park, in fact i was following up on a sighting of 4 sand hill cranes on one of the lakes, well as they say, along the way i found a black bear eating grass along a rock cut by the highway, as i understand it, a bear will eat grass after it first emerges from hibernationn so as to gently get the stomach working again after a winter shut down,.
I had no time to compose the shot as it was a suprise to us both, was taken into the setting sun.(still looking for the cranes !!)
