Bear scat. Dropped within the last 24 hours. Not very big, we assume a blackie. I kept the can of pepper spray I was carrying for moose protection close at hand. There was a high tide at fifteen feet leaving a narrow strip of beach to walk. It wasn't long before we spotted this and followed a string of them all the way down the beach...
That is a small bear print in case you have trouble seeing it. It is the first time I've seen bear tracks on this beach. To our amusement, a couple of seals followed us, bobbing up and down in the water. They seemed particularly curious about Tag's yapping and came in to about 50 yards from shore to see what the commotion was about. It has been a glorious day, clear, sunny and 65 degrees!
