Here’s a recent sighting of a young bull moose near our house. That’s Russ Murdoch’s new log home in the background ( East Cornwall Road ). Earle Taylor

We had a lovely gathering at the Trinity Concert and then at the Milton Hall Tree Lighting tonight, and several people asked me if it was safe to put the bird feeders out again.

To answer the question…No, it is not. We had a large, but not extra large, bear that came up on our deck tonight at about 9 p.m. We chased it away by yelling and clanging pot lids together. Then, I called the Lefferts next door, and lo and behold, the bear appeared near their back door…much to the thrill of their dinner guests!

Bill Dunn maintains the bears won’t go to sleep until the first snow, and it seems as if he’s correct.

Hope this information is helpful to you.
