Hi all,

I’ll make this short. Janet has spoken on the last post and most info is there. I just got off the phone with Ken Schneider, the State bear guy, about our crashed feeder from yesterday. Nice fella, but he says until we stop feeding the birds, we’re going to have the bears. He suggested a regional (all Milton) approach. All of us take in our feeders, keep our garbage locked away until trash day and don’t leave food out for our animals.

He puts up his feeders in November and takes them down in March. The birds stay and are fed for the winter. The bears are in hibernation and no bother (unless we have another warm winter like last year).

Bottom line, if all the food sources disappear for a few weeks, the bears will move on.
