video note: see Does and Fawns post update, uploading the hd videos to youTube is tricky!)
After Breakfast, paddled over to the Village--mail and a last looksee at the Art Show....returned through Bobcat Meadow...quiet...when I reached the Boardwalk over the Lily Pad Pond (frozen over), sighted Bear back by the Azaleas..faraway pics and clip....trotted back, thinking I could follow Bear all day, what with Bear's Track in the Snow, but realized when I reached Sentinel Parking, that there would be a few others with same thought!--Bear Jam...arrived late, but in time to see Bear run across the Road in traffic safely...Poor Bear!....left off, but circled around to the Road on the opposite side of the Merced--maybe Bear would show, but no luck...continued to Houskeeping, crossed Bridge thereabout, and returned to where I started!....a long tiring detour, stepping through Snow!....at Flicker Grove, Three Does and Four Fawns..pic and clip....at Backyard, Flickers and Varied Thrush Flock in the Three Dogwoods...faraway pics and clips...returned to the Dogwoods after Lunch....lens fogged with condensation...pics and clips kinda softened...this is the first time I've had this problem, but it is always a caution in cold (or tropical!) weather when going from cold outside to warm inside....lens looks okay tonight, but I dented the filter a long while back, which I cant unscrew: the moisture was under the filter, not the lens itself, and hopefully none in the newer camera!....sunny blue and broken clouds moving along the rims, warm, almost a foot of snow, but melting quick...oh...while looking for Bear, Two Mallard Pairs splash landed on the River...and a glimpse of Hawk flight on far shore....

Poor Bear. He or she doesn't look very big, and wearing a collar. Does that mean it is a trouble bear? I didn't notice an ear tag.
It's a kinda urban legend hereabout that the number of tags, and a collar maybe too, indicates a Bear has been a problem. Bears are profiled, as it were, but the tags and collars dont tell their story--which is likely in Bear Management's files!
