Bear Country

On Sunday we finished harvesting the Pinots. After the large harvest party, Mark and I sat on the deck enjoyed some refreshments and watched a woodpecker in a small patch of Cabernet.  This morning Mark said all the grapes in that patch were gone.  Seemed crazy that birds could wipe out a field in one morning. 

Seems it wasn't birds but a bear came into the field last night.  On the trail, was scat filled with grapes. We used to have problems with bears in a field we removed because it was close to the woods. This scat was close to the wine shed where we all celebrated yesterday.
