... The bears wander the streets at night. Their favorite treat seems to be the bird feeders. I've gone into the woods more than once to retrieve one of her neighbor's feeders. The HOA warns them, but whaddyado?



We get lots of black bears in northern NJ and they destroyed a couple of ground-level bird feeders.

I thought I was smart when I hung a feeder with fishing line off a high limb on an oak tree. One day we watched a bear climb the tree in order to go out on the limb. He thought better of it and as he descended the tree, he brushed up against the fishing line, and he noticed the feeder move.



He yanked on the fishing line a coule of times and pulled the feeder over the limb and down to the ground where he made a feast of it!
