If there had been any doubt regarding our feather friend, it’s been settled. A big thanks to Mirror Lake’s “official” photographer, WedgePhotoworks©
“This guy/gal (mom or dad) is definitely more camera shy than the other two. I was at least 100 yards away and only had about a minute or so before it was gone.

Bear sightings around Mirror Lake are becoming more common. NH Fish and Game advises taking down bird feeders; firmly securing trash containers; thoroughly cleaning grills; and not leaving food of any kind in cars, sheds, decks etc. Keep doors and windows locked at night and when you leave the house. Bears will avoid ammonia soaked rags and loud noises such as clanging pots and pans, airhorns, yelling, clapping and such.
