Black Bear
There are only black bears on Vancouver Island, but one must be Bear Aware when hiking.
We have a resident bear that hangs around our cabin filling up on blackberries and plums from the neighbour's tree.
I managed to take this picture as he wondered by the front of my cabin early one morning.
Here's a picture of his calling card (Bear Scat)

Bobcat
We discovered some unusual tracks in the frost one day. After comparing them with some internet info we concluded they were Bobcat Tracks.
Interesting storey: Bobcat attacks Housecat

Feral Cat.....click photo...
Ace the cat
A feral cat is a house cat that has gone wild. He was pretty hungry when he put three legs into my cabin for a meal. We call him "Ace" but he snarls and spits if you try to get close

Ace and Cooney
Who says cats and racoons don't get along. Our Feral cat "Ace" and "Cooney" the racoon are sharing a meal. Both were pretty hungry so paid no attention to each other. Note how the cat digs right in but the racoon daintily uses his hands to lift the food to his mouth. That is dry cat food they are eating. The racoons like it as much as the cats.

BC's Provincial Bird

We have more than a dozen Steller's Jays keeping us company all year. The Jay's don't go south in the winter. They love peanuts in the shell and the bold ones will take them out of your hand. If the cabin door is left open some will come in and steal out of the peanut bucket.
