Yesterday, a mama bear almost broke into the house. Karolina and I were working together in my office. She went downstairs to get paper and heard a scratching from our bedroom. Upon entering the room, she saw a bear’s head through the window. They stared at each other and then the bear ran away.

She had 3 cubs.

About four days earlier, a bear had eaten all of the birdseed from our birdfeeders. Maybe is was the same one? That time, she left paw prints on the side of the house. This time, the screen was ripped and there were claws marks in the aspen tree holding up the bird feeders (no bird food in them, though).
