Nature watch....

I had been complaining about the stealth bear that keeps eating the suet cakes we leave out for the birds. I wouldn't mind so much if we actually saw the bear. We had company visit this weekend, and at 7:00 PM, while we were in the screen porch, the bear sauntered by. He didn't stay long, either wary of the people in the screen porch or noticing that I hadn't put out a new suet cake. The bear wasn't particularly large, but when you see one that close, it is pretty impressive.

A pileated woodpecker has returned, but is skittish about returning to the suet cake. The Trumpeter swans seemed to have moved on, perhaps to grassy lake, by one report. There seem to be two pairs of loons (or four singlets) that spend time on Oswego-resulting in some loud loon arguments at night.
