Curious Bear...., originally uploaded by Allan M.

I was thinking about the previous article I wrote about the black bears that were hanging out in Ironwood over the weekend and thought I would see if anyone at flickr.com had some black bear pics. This was the first one that popped up when I searched for "Michigan black bears." The photographer states that "the bears in Ontonagon all seem to flock to the dumpster behind this ice cream stand."

Evidently, the owners of the ice cream stand have not yet read the DNR's guide to preventing bear problems in Michigan.
