Hungry bears caught on camera looking for food in Redmond
Most people living in the Pacific Northwest are used to seeing wildlife, but a Redmond man had an encounter a little too close for comfort over the Memorial Day weekend when an unwelcomed guest stopped by.
“I literally pulled the curtain away and his face was right in mine, about a foot away,” Scott Kankelborg said. “I haven’t even been that close to a bear in a zoo.”
The young bear wasn’t skittish or shy. Surveillance video showed the bear dragging a container to use as a stepping stool to reach a bird feeder.
“I tapped on the glass; he didn’t even seem to care. I turned on the porch light, didn’t faze him,” Kankelborg said. “Tried to blast an air horn [and] he did not care. He was hungry.”

Bird feeders and pet food left outside are among things bears will go for. And I thought squirrels were an annoyance.
