There was a bear cub running around the grounds; no sign of mama bear, but everyone came inside for a bit. Baby bear was convinced to reverse direction: back to the woods and away from the highway he was originally pointed at. S\/he seems small, but my knowledge of ursine development is pretty dang sketchy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/hawkdog.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/2012-10-22-16.16.57.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-19242\" title=\"2012-10-22 16.16.57\" src=\"http:\/\/hawkdog.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/2012-10-22-16.16.57-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"http:\/\/hawkdog.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/2012-10-22-16.16.57-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/hawkdog.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/2012-10-22-16.16.57-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/hawkdog.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/2012-10-22-16.16.57.jpg 1944w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The cub came off the tree, made a break for it, got scared and&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/hawkdog.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/2012-10-22-16.16.38.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-19243\" title=\"2012-10-22 16.16.38\" src=\"http:\/\/hawkdog.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/2012-10-22-16.16.38-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"http:\/\/hawkdog.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/2012-10-22-16.16.38-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/hawkdog.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/2012-10-22-16.16.38-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/hawkdog.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/2012-10-22-16.16.38.jpg 1944w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8230;went back up the tree for a bit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/hawkdog.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/2012-10-22-16.16.29.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-19244\" title=\"2012-10-22 16.16.29\" src=\"http:\/\/hawkdog.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/2012-10-22-16.16.29-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"http:\/\/hawkdog.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/2012-10-22-16.16.29-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/hawkdog.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/2012-10-22-16.16.29-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/hawkdog.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/2012-10-22-16.16.29.jpg 1944w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I wasn&#8217;t the only one snapping pics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cat Urbigkit posted an extraordinary sequence of photos showing a coyote and a badger hunting together (tiny amt of background here).
