Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Happened to glance out the bedroom window today and noticed that the bird feeder wasn't there where it should have been. So I walked into the bedroom to look out the window with a closer look, and saw the typical sign of a bear assault on it. It was bent over to the ground. Then I saw a dark shape a little bit into the woods, so I went to grab my camcorder...
It was broad daylight out, around 6pm, so I didn't have the bunny blasters set up for the bird feeder. I have been only turning them on at night, since I didn't expect a daylight assault on the bird feeder.
When I first saw the bear he was working on the screen cage that had been setting on top of the wood bird feeder. This held a peanut block that we put out for the woodpeckers, and I guess a bear can smell that from a long way off. When I retrieved the cage from the woods and inspected it, I had to just throw it away because it was pretty bent up and part of the chain was missing.
He then comes back to the feeder and laps up the sunflower seeds. Eventually I opened up the window and yelled at him, but he wasn't really too impressed with me, I guess. At the end of the above video he does look a little guilty, but not too much. Eventually he ran off into the woods when I clapped my hands at him, but he had eaten everything edible anyway by then.
This one is a lot smaller than the one we had a while back harassing the bird feeders. But still not something i would want to wrestle with.
Hate to see that. They are beautiful creatures. Look on the bright side at least you are not backpack camping in the Smoky Mountains. Along comes a bear while you are out hiking and rip your tent, sleeping bag, and everything else you have just for your toothpaste. Yell all you want to, but he's got one thing on his mind... Minty fresh breath.
