The bear that has been spotted in numerous locations in our area came visiting my house tonight. My husband went to let our dogs out when our male Schipperke started barking on the deck and refused to venture down the steps. Ironically our male Schipperke's name is Bear. That's when Danny noticed one of our bird feeders was bent to the ground. He picked up a flashlight and made a scan from the safety of our deck across the back yard when the light shown on the culprit. A fairly large Black Bear was sitting, quite content, under our cherry tree with our large bird seed tote between his legs feasting away. How he dragged that large tote from beside our deck and lifted the lid off, I'll never know. The lid was leaning on the side of the tote as if it was removed with care. We watched him eat for a good fifteen, twenty minutes and apparently when he finished off the seed (will go out in the light of day to check out the tote) he meandered down into the back yard and off to wherever he happens to be traveling to next.
We really enjoy feeding and watching the birds -- especially this time of year when the Grosbeak's, Indigo Bunting's and EasternTowhee's stop by. I hope we won't have to dispense with a hobby that we've enjoyed for decades.
It was pretty cool, though, to actually see this magnificent animal right in our backyard. I didn't get a good picture -- tried to get a shot with my phone, but it didn't come out. Last year my husband's cousin (a 1/2 mile away) got some great shots with a motion camera that he placed on his feeders. It's probably the same bear.
Does anyone know why there are so many cars parked at the park and ride on 19 in LeRoy? As far as I could find out the Rochester Park and Ride no longer comes out to LeRoy.

Genesee County will get its first urgent care clinic on July 1 when UMMC opens the new service at a location in Le Roy.
Currently, there is no urgent care clinic in Batavia or the surrounding towns and villages.
The facility is intended to provide services to residents in Le Roy and that part of the county, said UMMC spokeswoman Colleen Flynn, but any resident -- and anybody in the UMMC system -- can seek treatment at the Le Roy clinic.
No appointment will be necessary for patients seeking treatment for a range of non-life threatening injuries and illnesses.
"Urgent care fills a unique need in a community beyond what you can normally get at your doctor's office by having to make an appointment and then wait for that appointment if you're ill, or going to the emergency room with something that isn't really a life-threatening condition and having to wait long periods of time to be seen," Flynn told WBTA this morning.
UMMC officials say the clinic, which will be open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week, will provide patients with a cost effective and convenient way to seek treatment.
For those covered by insurance, co-pays for urgent care treatment tend to be less than emergency room treatment, officials.
The new clinic will be located where UMMC currently operates the LeRoy Diagnostic Center and Tountas Family Care Clinic, at 3 Tountas Ave., next door to LeRoy Ambulance.
Flynn said the Le Roy clinic has been in the planning stages for months. As for a similar clinic opening in Batavia, Flynn said that remains a possibility.
