Wild Wild Life...

rkoldI knew moving to CT meant we would have more wild life, but I never expected someone to share that they saw a bear wander through our townhome complex the other day! A real live full grown wild adult black bear. It didn't go near any of the actual units, just passed from our huge grassy septic field over the road into the small wooded area between a bunch of the units. Supposedly it was going at a good pace and I'm sure it then left the wooded area between units to find better cover outside of the complex, but still BEAR!
Yesterday, we had someone come to look at trikes who lives up in Litchfield about 30-45 minutes north of here. And he shared that when hiking in one of the state parks up there super early in the morning he saw A COUGAR! (and not the type that inhabits NYC though I am sure there is that type as well.) He explained CT didn't want to admit there were cougar here or they would have to do something to protect them as they are an endangered species. COUGAR! (he also said he had bear come into his backyard to try to eat bird feed from the bird feeders. I had no idea bears like bird feed.)
