Wildlife in our Yard

A couple of weeks ago, we showed you some black bear tracks near our house.  We talked to a neighbor who said they saw a mama bear and 4 cubs.  Four!  We really found that a little hard to believe, but then another neighbor posted these pictures on Facebook.  Yep, four cubs.  Wow!

We have not seen them yet ourselves and this is not as exciting as a bear and four cubs, but we did have some other wildlife in our yard yesterday.

You should have seen it. It was huge!

It smelled funny and kept getting the "woooo" all wrong.

We normally see these on the ranch next door, but she was right in our yard.

Look, she is even wearing an ID tag just like we do.

She is headed back home. Thanks for visiting.

    I love it! On our trip, we woke up in one of our favorite camping spots to find a cow herd staring at us through the mist. The dogs went bananas! Fortunately, our cows left just like yours did.

    That’s the biggest dog we’ve ever seen!!! Bigger even than The Relentlessly Hooge!

    Wow…can’t imagine waking up and seeing that in my yard here in Ohio. haha.

    Bears? EEEK! Mom says to RUN. (she is terrified of bears and spiders)

    What’s up with those cows, they need to learn their abc’s and m’s and w’s better so they can woo properly.

    Amazing to see those four bear cubs.

    We’ve never heard of four baby bears. Mama bear will probably be four times as protective as usual.

    Woo! I’ve met some of those guys before and you’re right – their “woo” is upside down!

    Moo!!! Does the herd moo now??? Are they craving dairy?

    Hey… Compare Rusty’s white part on his face to his old picture there on the side–very interesting changes!

    I am glad they didn’t go chase that wildlife. She looked fierce!

    Wow, 4 babies!! That is unusual for sure.

    I wonder what the girls would think of a cow for company?

    Ha ha! Those cows are not to be messed with!

    I’ve never heard of a bear having four cubs. I wonder if it’s possible she adopted a couple. Just think, if you run into them, it will be an almost even match up!

    Hi Everybuddy, we have cows live next door to us too but I am very brave and they don’t scare me (much). No worries, and love, Stella

    Ahhh, one of those giant cow dogs! There are lots of those in our state. Just not in our yards.
