Hungry bears caught on camera looking for food in Redmond
Most people living in the Pacific Northwest are used to seeing wildlife, but a Redmond man had an encounter a little too close for comfort over the Memorial Day weekend when an unwelcomed guest stopped by.
I literally pulled the curtain away and his face was right in mine, about a foot away, Scott Kankelborg said. I havent even been that close to a bear in a zoo.
The young bear wasnt skittish or shy. Surveillance video showed the bear dragging a container to use as a stepping stool to reach a bird feeder.
I tapped on the glass; he didnt even seem to care. I turned on the porch light, didnt faze him, Kankelborg said. Tried to blast an air horn [and] he did not care. He was hungry.

Bird feeders and pet food left outside are among things bears will go for. And I thought squirrels were an annoyance.
