Yep — they’re still out there. Bears, that is.
One of the posts in the “neighbors” newsgroup this morning, from someone who lives at about Stonehill and E. Loma Alta:
We were visited by a fairly large brown bear last night about 4:30am. He entered the backyard (somehow, we don’t know) and was climbing our fig tree which is loaded with ripe fruit. He stayed quite awhile feasting on the fruit, shaking the tree like crazy, breaking only one branch thank goodness. After his fill, he left the yard towards the front of the house, climbing the cinderblock wall. We were impressed, he was very agile in his exit, not knocking over any of our “stuff” which is piled up.
Another neighbor confirmed that heavy trash cans were also knocked over this morning, so they’ve been on the prowl!
