The company I work for has a campus set about half a mile back from the street, nestled in the woods.
Today there is a bear cub down by the small lake between the two office buildings and we are now all on semi-lock down until the state wildlife people can get here. The fear is that there is an adult bear somewhere near. It's probably a black bear, and probably looking for a place to settle down for the winter.
Word is that the cub and the adult, if located, will be sedated and moved to a less populated area.
And we had what we think was a red-tailed hawk out on the window ledge this morning.
I live and work in the same city. This is a reminder to me that nature really is all around us, even in the midst of concrete and parking lots.
