CONCORD — The Granite State’s black bears are slowly beginning their denning process which has been delayed this year due to mild temperatures and abundant natural foods. Despite the recent snowfall statewide, however, people who enjoy feeding the birds should be prepared to quickly remove their feeders at the first sign of any bear activity until temperatures become consistently colder and a complete lack of bear activity is evident.
Because bears are likely to return in the spring to feeding sites that they discover in the fall, initiating bird feeding a few weeks later than the official Dec. 1 start this year is recommended.
