The other day I met a bear...

While doing inventory work this morning, I had a close encounter with Ursus americanus. In nearly forty years of doing field work out of doors, this is the first live encounter I've had with a bear in Oregon. I've had a couple fleeting glimpses of bears running away over in Washington, but this is my first, real, face-to-face anywhere. Posted by mbalame at May 9, 2007 12:07 AM
