ON NEW YEARS DAY we were walking on the cornfield trail. Suddenly there were tracks in front of us seemingly appearing from nowhere. Big prints. Bear prints. My first thought was they must have descended from a tree to just appear like that. As it turned out we couldn't see where the bear had come through the brush to get on the trail. Later our neighbor Eric told us he'd seen the tracks in the cornfield leading over to the trail. I wish I could have seen this bear sauntering across that big open field on it's way to sniff around the neighborhood for a winter snack.
