After the unfortunate late night mauling of a girl riding a bike during a 24 hour bike race in one of Anchorage's parks, bears have become a huge controversy. Some people, like me, believe that Wildlife in our back yards is just one of the things that make Alaska unique. Other people think we should go out and shoot them all. I say to those people, "go back to California!"
On that note, here are some recent photos I took of a bear wandering through our yard. He has become a fairly frequent visitor, so we walk around outside with a shovel or ski pole now!
Alaska black bear lounging by our deck. Check out his claw!

Here he is running off through the yard
