More Bears

Another bear came by to say hello to one of my cameras.  It's a young one, as you may be able to tell by its small size.

This camera set comes from Bluemont, Virginia and was the one that I put up in a previous post (Into the Appalachians).


Now here is where I'm going to get a little analytical with these photos.

This bear had its picture taken at 11:10PM on April 14th.  The bears in my last post (Loudoun County Bears) had their pictures taken on the same date at just about exactly the same time.

I am estimating the populations of these animals by looking at the times of the pictures and how far away the cameras are from other cameras.

These bears cannot be the same bears since the cameras are miles apart from each other with a picture at the same time.

Loudoun County has way more bears than I ever would have thought.

    1. Alyssa, there's got to be more bears around you than where I live.

  2. If there are, they are not showing any sign! No pics, no tracks, no marking, no roadkills!

  3. Nice pics, I haven't seen any bears yet this year but will check my camera this weekend. A pretty heavy potted tree in my driveway was turned over (something scraping in the mulch). Btw, I added a link to your blog to my site.
