BEARS WERE HERE

— Three black bears, a mother and her two large cubs, destroyed this birdfeeder and much of the flower garden the feeder stood in. The damage occurred at approximately 5 a.m., May 22, at the home of Mike and Marcia Caudill of Carcassonne. The Caudills watched helplessly, but were unable to photograph the action because of the darkness and the bears’ dark coats. Goldilocks was not among the perpetrators.
