Veggies, scat, birds

Well sometime this past week I took some pictures of this scat.

Its much too big to be fox, racoon or deer, or pretty much any of the animals i have personally seen in the area. Last year we found similar sized scat a few times in the backyard and my dad thought it was bear scat, which i thought to be out of the question. Bears here? In the burbs? no way. Then sometime in the last few days I caught a short news story about a Black Bear sighting in North Oaks (which is the city/town just east of where i live). So it could be bear scat. The Bear that was sighted is pressumed to be 160lbs, the residents are worried and well the poor thing is mostly going to be shot if seen. Good luck little bear! I hoep you can outsmart the authorities long enough to find some safe area to den up for the winter. 

Here is some other scat i found that day, would be Fox or Raccoon. there is some kind of bone in it.

Today the Cedar Waxwings were enjoying the Juniper Berries.

Here are some of the veggies ive harvested. This was my first year trying parsnips and acorn squash and Yukon gold potatoes. i think i did a good job.

And the greatest surprise, OKRA!
