So when the baby bear cubs were in my backyard along with Mama bear who was only slightly past my sliding glass window, the brown cub stood up and put his paws on the glass of my siding glass door so he could peer in . Of course you don't want to do anything that will startle the cubs because Mama bear is right there and could very easily rip off the door and come in. The light in the family room was off so I didn't dare turn it on in case it startled the cubs. I had to do the photo from the back of the family room on zoom with no flash through a sliding glass door that hadn't been cleaned so hence, the poor quality. Better to have a poorer photo and live than go for a great photo and end up up close and personal with Mama bear.

Thank you. You learn to adapt to them. Put it this way, I never turn my back to the greenbelt when I am in the backyard. I also try to be noisy if I have to go into the greenbelt so that the bears have the heads up. Most times bears are shy and will run away if you clap your hands or make noise. It is just if you startle them that you would have a problem.
