Thanks for watching and commenting! While these bears are very well behaved, it is always good to make noise when going to change cards! It's intersting to see how much attention the various critters pay to the cameras. The camerras are all "no glow" cameras, designed so the animals don't see the IR flash. Still there's something that gets their attention, both in daylight and in the dark. Perhaps the cameras make a sound that we can't hear when they are taking photos/videos. Regardless of the reason, many species are certainly attracted to the cameras!

@@garys8404 my game cam channel "Town of Saratoga NY Wildlife" my wife says as soon as I catch a bear on one of the cameras, is the last time she's going into the woods

Thanks, and you’re welcome! And you’re correct, we’re in the Seattle suburbs. This is a pocket of woods with homes a couple hundred feet away in most directions. It’s amazing how many animals are there that we never see!

Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!

Thanks for the comment! Yes, that bobcat is amazing and so cute! I'm very happy with the Gardepro cameras. The video is beautiful and they are very affordable.

Thanks! For the price I don't think you can do any better than Gardepro, especially when they are on sale. I've used 6 different brands of cameras, and my favorites are Gardepro and Meidase.

@@garys8404 Thanks man I'm gonna try the Gardepro. My old Bushnell are not keeping up and need replaced. My Stealthcam's are doing OK but will be replaced soon also. Appreciate you.

Thanks for your observations. We are lucky here. We have quite a number of black bears living close to people, and in they woods they are not disturbed by the human neighbors. On the video you can hear children playing perhaps 100 feet away. The parents don't know the bear is there and the bear doesn't care that they humans are there. I'm not aware of anyone feeding the bears, at least on purpose. Occasionally the bears do get into bird feeders and garbage, yet they don't cause any problems other than a mess to clean up. For now it is nice that we get to see them once in a while and great that they have some quiet natural habitat where they can get away from people. Hopefully they don't make a habit of destroying cameras!

Thanks! Yes, there are both bobcats and coyote on this video. Based on the number of spots, we think there are more than one bobcat on this video.

Thanks for the comment! These are black-tailed deer, which I think is the only kind of deer we have here in western Washington state.

Thanks for the comment, Erin! Yes, he is a big one. He looks about the same size as the first bear from last year, but does seem thinner. Maybe he got some Ozempic over the winter?

Glad you liked it! It's nice having bears in the neighborhood. We always look forward to seeing the first bear in spring!

Thanks for asking! We're in Western Washington, in the suburbs roughly 20 miles from Seattle. It's great to see all the animals very close to people's homes!

I was actually brought here by your link on the NextDoor website. I am in North Bothell, kind of bordering Mill Creek. Is this about where this was at? We hear coyotes all the time, have owls, racoons, and red squirrels right behind our back fence. I have also seen quail and evidence of a black bear right next door! @@garys8404

Glad you enjoyed it! We are in the suburbs about 20 miles from Seattle.

@@garys8404 Ahh, nice! I've heard that area's gorgeous. I'm in Minnesota, but not up north where all the wildlife is.

Nice observations! A lot of people don’t appreciate varied thrushes! We’re in a suburb of Seattle, definitely on the mainland. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for your kind comment! She is creeping up on me too; maybe more than creeping! It is so interesting seeing all the animals that are living so close to people but that we rarely see. Glad you enjoy it!

Thanks for the comment. Too bad about the invasive raccoons there in Europe. I suspect they were introduced because they are so cute!

@@garys8404 Yes, but when they get adult, they become aggressive. It is not a good idea as pet.

It's along Freeman Creek, not far from Cottage Lake, in Seattle suburbs.

Thanks for your comments! I am very happy with the Gardepro A3 and A3s cameras. The video quality is great, they are easy to use and are very efficient from a battery perspective. We are located in the suburbs of Seattle. The people were about 50 yards from the bears and had no idea the bears were there. The bears in our area are very well behaved, are not aggressive toward people. We often have bears walk on our deck and we haven't every had any problems with them.

Thanks, I've been using the Browning trail cams after starting with Moultrie My next one will likely be a Gardepro A3S. I have 1 Moultrie still taking pictures, but the video mode uses batteries too fast. I never would have picked the burbs of Seattle for that location!@@garys8404

Thanks, Erin! Always nice to read your comments!

Thanks for your comments! That bear is sure fun to watch!
