Photos by Ken MacDonald 
Hungry Black Bear perches in a 
 5-storey high Great Blue Heron nest!
                                      

These photos are to be found on the Facebook page of the Midland-Penetanguishene Field Naturalists.  A Black Bear climbed up a tree in Severn Township, north of Orillia, to a Great Blue Heron nest where it apparently ate the young herons it found there.   
Observers said it not appear to climb any of the other tall dead trees, but did spend the night in the nest where it was photographed.   My friend Ed Miller sent me these photos.  Many thanks, Ed.
