We stayed in a nice 8 bedroom home this last week in the Emerald Island Resort and were super surprised about the "resident" black bear that apparently liked to hang out near the home.
Every night, our garbage can was tipped over and garbage was all over the yard. We saw a few raccoons near the start of our trip, so we figured it was just some raccoons making all of the mess.
Then, one night, we went out to put something in our car and saw a black bear digging through the garbage. The next night, we arrived back home to see the black bear again. We snapped this picture (horrible quality -- I know).
Anyway, I guess it isn't anything major to worry about, but from my neck of the woods it was definitely a different experience!
