Re: A bear near Sebastopol
This bear (on Green Valley Road) appears to be much larger and darker than the one photographed on Barnett Valley Road. See image.
Re: A bear near Sebastopol
Aye, darker but maybe not much bigger. My daughter saw it and thought it was "pretty small" for a bear. Also, the shadows can play tricks, but the noses between the two look quite similar.

Lol, I was thinking just the opposite. It's so difficult to tell with, as you mentioned, the variables such as light, angle, distance, etc.. The shadows in this new photo appear, to me, to account for the darker appearing coat. But she does, again this is so subjective, seem bigger. She's only 2, or so, which explains the size that your daughter noted. But even though it's only been a month, I believe, between photos she seems to have filled out a bit.
At least we have a bear, or bears, around for which I'm thrilled. I was beginning to lose hope.

Re: A bear near Sebastopol
It's been about 6 weeks since there was a bear sighting. :hmmm:
Has anybody seen or heard anything??
I'm hoping he/she/they have made it into the wild....
Re: A bear near Sebastopol
A bear killed a friend of mine's goat on Harrison Grade Road and I'm told it was subsequently shot dead in Forestville.

If she's looking for young men, neither the cemetery nor Burbank Heights is likely to be very fruitful.
Oh, wait--you mean a mountain lion.

Re: bears in Sebastopol ?
I'm pretty sure, from your description, that what you saw was a Sasquatch. They usually migrate in the Fall from Mendo down through Sonoma and out to Pt. Reyes where they spend the winter.

Haven't seen any recent postings on bear sightings in West county, but I'm fairly certain I saw one in my yard a few days ago. Too big to be a bobcat, approx 70 lbs, thought first it was a mountain lion, but definitely very stubby tail, and much more of a bear-like face. It was rather bold, I was about 40-50 yards away, it stared at me a while. Lost 2 chickens around that time too. I'm off Elphick Road south of town. Any other recent sightings? Am I crazy?
Re: bears in Sebastopol ?
You're sure it wasn't a rapacious Kohlrabi?
