I went to sleep at midnight, but woke up at 2 when Ken came to bed. As we were talking, the motion detector light came on outside the window. It couldn't have been on more than 15 seconds, but when I glanced out the bear had already knocked the pole over and was eating. He was medium sized. We watched him a bit, then he ran off when I barely tapped on the window. We'd been assuming that the motion light would be enough to scare them off. The cat, who's apparently no dummy, stayed hidden in her bed just a couple feet away behind the bushes next to our window. I moved the animal camera to the very back of the yard yesterday, too, so maybe he'll show up on it.
Yikes! Maybe you need a siren in addition to the motion light! So this must mean the bears are waking up hungry now? Be very careful!!!!
