@Sarah111well Between April and October. They tend to visit in spurts. Like they’re cycling through their territory. Or if some misguided neighbor leaves their feeders up the whole year. At the most I could have 3-4 videos some weeks, and then nothing for a month or so.
@tanavit@Sarah111well Black bears tend not to be aggressive (though I wouldn’t want to be anywhere around if Mom was with cubs). In my 7 years we’ve encountered* 2 while outside. Both seemed curious but really couldn’t be bothered to shift their attention away from what they were doing, which was lumbering away. (And when I say encountered, in both cases they were several hundreds of feet away.)
@danmccullough@mycrowgirl My visually impaired son used to come inside fast sometimes, "it's a bear!", but it was always a dark dog running. We do see black bears occasionally, at a distance. But I didn't in that semi-rural Charlottesville neighborhood.
