Thank you and you are absolutely right. We observe, but never engage and definitely respect their space. I use zoom for a closer shot.

How sweet of them to help the local trash service 😂. Awesome video, Roanoke has a pretty cool history!

Great video! We have been in roanoke for a little over a year now, and hoping to spot some on our cameras!

They are seen frequently from April through November. We are in a wooded, mountainous area, so we see them more often than some.

[@GregBranscome]

They're everywhere!

[@MiddleAgedDroneChick]

Yep!

A couple decades ago they brought bears from the mountains to here in Central Va and so far i have been charged by two huge black bears. I have never seen black bears get this big. Both charges were right in my front yard. I wish they had not brought them here because there are a lot of communities and a lot of children playing in their yards.

I suppose we've been fortunate. No problems with aggression thus far.
