Entering the den of a bear in hibernation carries a maximum penalty of nine months in jail and a $10,000 fine. Or we eat you.
BTW it was the only place where I could get decent reception for my laptop.:)

On the Chippewa Flowage in Sawyer County, there are 12 to 15 territories staked out by eagles, said Lowell Tesky, a DNR wildlife technician in Hayward who surveys the eagle population there each year. Hey Lowell...if you read this how ya doing?....great guy that Lowell...wildlife fanatic since he was a kid...we played on the same grade school football team together..
lived in the same neighborhood..Junior High & High School together...
his whole family...good people... I always wondered what happened to Lowell

No conservatives/Republican's to blame....what will they do?
The environazis are more imaginative than that. Of course WE forced the bear to go where he did not belong by taking over his habitat! It IS our fault!

Damn, I hate it when that happens. You come home tired, the kids are tired, you are about to deliver your baby and the damned bears have moved in lock stock and barrel. And the government protects them.

Awww... I just love this... Ain't this cute!... lol
A bear in the tree and more over in the nest. What does it tell you? Don't build a house that is way too cousy for the intruders... Otherwise, see what happens? :)
The only question still remains what would happen to those birds if this will continue since in this the most recent news next to the 2002 news of the same encounter of having a bear in the tree... Anyways, I think if birds don't mind... let the bear hatch the eggs for them and they can go somewhere else for a while like take a vocation and then come back and their babies are safe and sound.
Think of the bear as the babysiter ;)

"Why that little devil went to the eagle's nest, it's hard to say. Maybe this animal in the past has had some disturbance on the ground" during hibernation and chose to climb up a tree, Gappa said. No, it's just one of the Chicago Cubs trying to see what it feels like at the top.

Did you ever notice that after a tornado, hurricane, or similar tree stripping, tree crashing meteorological disaster that the fine engineering work of squirels, ospreys, and eagles goes unscathed?
I mean in this case, a #150 bear spends the entire winter in a pile of sticks atop a 75' windwhipped tree and the structure is solid after months of tossing and turning! The only thing holding the nest together is the selection, placement, and interlock of kindling wood.
Nature sure has some fine builders.

I have noticed that. We lost a couple trees this winter and when having them chopped and carried away, we noted all the undisturbed bird's nests. They are better than my builders. The pic of that bear in the birdnest and the birds consternation has been making me chuckle all evening.
