Today Karen and I were birding in Watershed Preserve in Redmond when we saw a bear swim across a pond.? Here are 3 videos.

The pond is on the right as you enter the preserve from Novelty Hill Road.? We were on an observation platform accessed from a trail from the parking lot.? The bear exited the pond in an area that we had intended to bird.? We decided to bird elsewhere.
