Posted by Betty (New Jersey, United States) on 29 April 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Love how the one bear cub is standing on "tippy toes" to reach the bird feeder!

Awww! bless them, brilliant shot Betty. I agree with you the little one on tippy toes is soooo cute.

Betty, this makes my thieving squirrels not quite so annoying.

@Earnest: Isn't that the truth!!! :-) Come to think of it, I haven't seen any squirrels around lately!

Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia

Such mischief. I guess you didn't want to get too close!

@Michael Skorulski: No, I did not want to get closer... although in my own yard I have been closer, but by accident and without a camera!

Teresa Durães from Montijo, Portugal

well captured!

@Teresa Durães: Thank you.

Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States

It's surprising anyone puts ANYTHING in those bird feeders.
These are marvelous captures, Betty!

@Judy: The bird feeders are pretty sad, kind of broken up. Thank you, Judy.

I guess maybe the people who keep feeding the birds and deer are sort of enjoying the bear attention they get. Thank God these are not grizzlies.

@Viewfinder: I also thank God they are not grizzlies... although I would prefer if they stopped so that the bears would move on!

Peter Miller from Lichfield, United Kingdom

They are having a beary good time

@Peter Miller: They are beary good bears!

Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada

We have a huge bear problem where I live. They wander in looking for bird feeders, trash. Anything. In the fall, the fruit trees are a real banquet.

29 Apr 2008 10:08am

@Michael Rawluk: That's the way it is here, too. In the fall, every single apple from my tree disappears... between the deer and the bears.

. . and I was just a moment ago complaining about pigeons! Oh, my.

@Ronnie 2¢: Trade you!! :-)

MJ from Delaware, United States

These are some of the best photos I have seen of the bears in this area... great job Betty

29 Apr 2008 12:22pm

@MJ: Thanks, MJ... I appreciate that.

Desparado from New DElhi, India

cute and cool shot! Animals always make these interesting shots but this one is so rare bcoz pups n kitties are one thing bt to capture bears in camera shots n that too in such a cute gesture amazing!!!

@Desparado: Even though the bears are in our area, that doesn't mean that you get to see them for a photo op! I was lucky it was a Saturday and we found out that they were there... and that they posed for us!

Barbara from Florida, United States

Love the pose on the toes. They do not give up easily. Another great shot.

29 Apr 2008 2:08pm

@Barbara: I was amazed to see that the one stood on tippy toes! They do not give up, I've seen large ones crunch up an entire feeder like it was candy!

Craig from Vacaville, California, United States

3 kids in a candy store! :0)

29 Apr 2008 4:45pm

@Craig: They visit this store regularly! :-)

sherri from Little Rock, Arkansas, United States

I had no idea there were bears in New Jersey. What a capture. I love the contrast between something you certainly don't see everyday and the dandelions in the grass which are so common anywhere.
