Cindy Gersony of Great Falls sent us this picture of a bear on her deck on Sept. 14. Gersony writes: “I heard a noise as I was sitting in my kitchen in the early afternoon, and imagine my surprise to see a bear on our deck — he had to climb up the stairs — casually tipping our bird feeder so he could eat the bird seed. He looks to be a juvenile black bear. He stayed a good 20 minutes, and then ambled off down the deck steps out to the woods in the general direction of the river. We live on Black Riffles Court, in the neighborhood where River Bend and Beach Mill roads meet, not too far from Riverbend Park.”
