These black bear pictures were taken in my back yard this past summer
of 2007. Black bears are relatively common in the Berkshire Hilltowns
of Western Massachusetts. We also see a lot of deer and wild turkey. Occasionally moose are spotted.
The blue jay and fox pictures were taken in February of
2007.
