Hi Tweeters;
This is just to thank everyone who responded to the power of pishing
story. All of your bear stories, concerns about meeting bears, and
great advice for how to respond to them are truly invaluable (and
thrilling to read) and may help birders to be much safer on the trail,
have a more positive wilderness experience and over-come bearanioa!
THANK YOU!
