  • This bear walked along my back fence at 9:03 PM.
    He doesn't have any tags in his ears so he's obviously been staying out of trouble (so far). I love the way the bear looks directly into the camera … (Nextdoor Canyon Pines)
  • Looks like the fires drove the deer along Somersett Parkway.
    They come in the morning over the last few weeks. They are only 20 ft from my backyard fence. (Nextdoor Somersett)
