A Timberton neighbor reports a “Yogi sighting”:
Please spread the word that we have a bear in Timberton. He hopped up on our deck at 44 Leighbrook Lane this morning. Walter said he was “big”. I was upstairs at my computer, heard a noise and caught a glimpse of a large brown body. Walter did his grizzly bear act and the bear scurried off into the woods.
Keep an eye on loose pets. And make sure that you don’t have any outside feeding dishes…bears like pet foot too, and it may want to return for its next meal.
Information on co-existing with bears? One source is here; there are many others if you ‘ask the googles’: http://wdfw.wa.gov/living/bears.html
Stay safe!
September 26 – approx 3pm: What appears to have been a bobcat injured one dog and took the smaller one from my driveway one Wheeler Lane. Be extra careful with your pets, even in daylight hours!
