Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh my!
I'm happy to say this is not a real-life sighting! However, my gardener discovered what was close enough--black bear scat--right along the upper (toward house) border of my grapes. I took a close look and now understand why it's easily identifiable. It's made up of berries, nuts, seeds, grasses--very unlike coyotes, deer, dogs, etc. We followed the trail to the collapsed wire fence where he obviously crawled over. By the damage, it looks like maybe he was only medium size. I've decided not to repair it now because he'll just go between other fence posts.
