This is the original picture of the juvenile bear taken on July 21, 2018, at 4:43 pm
Below are the recent images of the bear taken on Sunday, Sept. 1, 2019, at 2:54 pm. I believe this is the same bear with the same basic coloring and posture. I’ll need the photos from the field cameras to be sure.
The house was built over 30+ years ago in an area that was inhabited by a wealth of wildlife. In other words, human encroachment in bear habitat.
I’ve begun to educate myself about the bear population in Arnold, California. As I mentioned in an earlier blog, I have always been interested in bears, but I’ve never had the opportunity to monitor them up close and personal. That has changed dramatically.
“There are only two species of black bears in California: The California black bear (Urus Americana Californiensis) and the northwestern black bear (Urus Americana Altifrontalis).”
(Wikipedia. The American Black Bear. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_black_bear).
I have no idea which type of bear is visiting my house. Initially, I assumed that this bear was a male, but after reading, “In the Company of Bears: What Black Bears Have Taught Me About Intelligence and Intuition” by Benjamin Kilham, I now think my visitors are all female. Female bears have home ranges whereas males wander greater distances. The images appear to me to be of the same bears. That would support the author’s findings. Benjamin Kilham states that “black bears have a matriarchal hierarchy and share ranges in cooperative relationships.” Perhaps my bears are the food resources in the area of my house. Of course, I would prefer that they just thought I was a cool human and safe to be around!

I look forward to collecting the photos from the field cameras.
