A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Ursus americanus
While wandering around our reservoir this youngster surprised me by suddenly emerging from the woods, and just as quickly disappearing back into it's depths. Not the greatest quality pics, but a fun spotting!

Yes Andrew, on the far side. I'm so glad to see you joined Project Noah!
Was this the one neear the Goodwin Dam? I am still trying to learn the area ..... I can't wait till next Spring to go bear looking!
Interesting! I want to see this guy :D
Our town is where they bring the "nuisance" bears from elsewhere in the state, so we have quite a large population. I've had some scary close encounters in the past, but once I disciplined myself about not feeding birds in summer & keeping the garbage secured it hasn't been such an issue. I still keep an eye out while gardening though :)
Great spotting, but I'm glad it was you rather than me... I'm super scared of bears!
