Thanks for the recap and the links. That is a great web site. Gotta love those black bears. We have loads of them down here in PA, but the only time most folks pay attention to them is when one wanders down into suburbia and climbs a tree in someone's back yard. Then Action News is on the scene and it's a big deal. Ridiculous. If only more people took the time to understand how they live, why they stray into yards and bird feeders and trash cans, and how they aren't nasty... But, as with countless other species, we're crowding into their "turf," and that can never mean anything good for the non-human...
