The picture in this article is of the mamma bear and her cub that are
raiding the dumpsters around here. I've gotten pretty familiar with the
bears that are coming on to our property and I'm 99.9 % sure they are the
same bears, plus the caption says this photo was taken in Hermosa and that's
the suburb of Durango where we live. The female that hangs out here has the
same cinnamon coloring on the back and neck with the black face and legs. We
had a very late snowstorm last spring and that apparently put a big dent in
their natural food supply.

We have three big apple trees in the front yard and theses two bears and
another "huge" male are snarfing the apples that are ripening and dropping
off the trees. They totally destroyed our neighbors plum tree across the
street the other night and are also partying at another neighbors' apple
orchard on the property two doors down. A few yards from our apple trees is
a big willow tree that is in a parking area that is illuminated by a
flourescent floodlamp. Last week they would eat until they got their fill ,
then the female would stand under the willow tree while the baby bear ran up
and down the tree playing all night long. Crash and Muffin were not pleased
about this at all.

My girlfriend, her daughter and I were out cycling in the
mountains the other week along some nice paved pathways...

http://tprc.alberta.ca/parks/kananaskis/facilities_kc_villag e.asp

Young Erica (7) was in front, and I was about 8' behind her.
My girlfriend was about 35' behind us. We passed a tree at
the side of the path and startled a LARGE adult bear that
was foraging wild strawberries at the base of the tree...
about 4' away. The bear sat up and jumped back a bit, then
went back to foraging. A few seconds later I hear "Holy
*hit!!"... :-) bear startled again! it took off this
time... I have to give Erica credit.. she kept peddling even
though her legs were shaking like crazy! We'll probably
wait till all the berries are gone before we go again...
