My friend John who lives in upstate New York, often has bears visiting his yard...we had moose, fox, deer a-plenty in our Alberta yard, but no bears. Here in southern Ontario, nothing bigger raccoons and possums...or are they opossums... I refilled my hummingbird feeder again yesterday as they were buzzing around and emptied it!
