This photo came from Diane Rossi this morning. She said the bear seemed unconcerned as cars passed by about 7 o'clock last night. That is Ray and Cyndi Rouleau's garage/workshop directly across the road from their home and Diane's. This may not be one of the twins the LaGue's and Dimicks have been seeing, as this one seemed to be solo. Thanks, Diane. Your giraffe looks a bit concerned - like he's heading for the protection of your porch.

This came from Tom Dente this morning: 

An interesting twist involving bears hunting for food. 

In Torrington, CT a bear crawled into a house thru a window screen seeking food in the kitchen. The owner, who was in the house called 911 from a safe room and they caught the bear as it was leaving the house. The bear had made quite a mess in the kitchen.

So, be careful if you open windows in bear country as the animal can easily smell food from outside your cottage or house if you have the window up and just a screen.
