With eyes and ears on alert throughout the neighborhood, we don’t know of any bear being shot nearby. 
It is now 8:38 PM, 20 minutes past the legal shooting hours. A good start. Hoping for the best.
Outside the window, a migrating yellow-rumped warbler stopped by for some sunflower seed hearts and made herself easy to identify.
Thank you for all you do.
