Bear Likes Lawn and Order
Former Humboldt County Supervisor Jill Duffy took these photos and this video of some bears that “strolled out of the woods” on Tuesday. Duffy was able to capture the photos from inside her house using a telephoto lens.

Nice property. Did you buy that place before being a Supervisor or after? Everything nice and green and like a zoo. Interesting you are described as a former Supervisor. An elected official and her wildlife. Uhmmm……
Oh, for heaven’s sake. She lives on the edge of wildland.
Right, What does the property have to do with what your previous employment was? Takes all kinds.
I’ve seen bears in the middle of Eureka. It’s a nice lawn – that’s what happens when you take care of your property!
Thank you, Kym!
What does it matter when the property was Purchased? What point are you trying to make?
For the record JILL Duffy was a hard working employed adult before she was supervisor, Shee worked hard during her terms as 5th district supervisor, and She works hard today… and although I am not in the know on salary she may make as much in her current job as she did as a hard working county supervisor. Oh yeah and her husband is a hard working employed adult as well…..
Well that escalated quickly.
@adultbears. Jealous much?
Just out for a morning stroll!
Is that bear Eating dandelions, that’s pretty cool. Those bears have very nice coats 🧥.

🕯🌳Very nice pictures. 🌍🖖🐸
Great shots, Jill. Hope you’re well.
Awesome photos! Thank you!
Thankfully, a break from virus porn.
I especially enjoyed the still of the bear facing front. It is so individual I feel I might know that particular bear if I saw it in person.
Great title! Good pics too…these bears look healthy. I believe there’s only about 30,000 black bears currently in California.
That’s correct, and up by a factor of 3 in the last 25 years. Beautiful creatures.
Interesting lawn mowers. That’s how you go green
So glad to see some healthy bears!!!
Lets remember that a whole new generation of wild critters were just born into a world of low traffic and low human interactions. Itll take them a little bit to learn so please slow down and be really aware if your surroundings on trails and such.
Carry a simple pe whistle, i have yet to come upon a wild critter that doesn’t cringe and run at that sound.
Scare away young animals any way you can, itll save their lives.
Great advice and good on you for thinking about the new generations of critters! It is cool to see these guys looking so healthy. They look big!
🕯🌳Its good to here about wildlife making a comeback, even some extinct species being rediscovered. 🌍🐸🖖
The bear on the left in the first picture was pleased to pose for a photo 🙂
Out in the country with the wildlife running free is my favorite place to be! Great photos and video!
