We are approaching the end of shepherdia season, or better know as the buffaloberry season. What a season it has been, one of the best in a while here in the Bow Valley and the bears took full advantage of it. Black bears and grizzlies, males and females and young and old all spent most of their time eating these small berries. Adding on the weight daily, this will make it easier for them surviving the winter and for the females who mated, they will have company in their den in January and rest of us who are lucky enough will see the bundles of joy in the spring time. A adult bear can eat more then 200, 000 berries in a day, that's is more then 20, 000 calories. For me that's like eating 45 of my favourite chocolate bars, in a day. Num Num Num Num.........
Until next moment,
Amar
