Here’s a collection of Bears my cameras have caught over the last two months. Moonridge is absolutely full of them! I’ve been dying to post these somewhere, and this looks like the perfect place!


A Bear Visits me During the Line Fire at 7:30 PM
This is really early for them - it looked like sunset at 5PM due to the fire, and we think it threw this bear off his normal trash sniffing routine.
Dave Beary Visits My Home in Big Bear (we named the bear Dave Beary)
This guy is huge, and he’s got some interesting markings on his face.
A Mama Bear and Her Cub
That is a very tiny bear cub. It’s dangerous to see this, though, as I’m sure that Mama will react very defensively to being startled by us!
A Black Bear Chases Another Black Bear Through My Property
This was nuts. I was talking out on my deck, then came inside… seconds later, the cameras capture these two. I don’t know if I spooked them, or if one spooked the other… but they BOOKED IT across my yard. Black Bears can run at speeds up to 35 mph.
