Out of the Woods, onto the Deck

There was a bear on the deck last night. I was up late, heard a noise, turned my head and saw a big round black shape go by. Was it a bear or a really big racoon, I wondered, so went out in the pouring rain with an umbrella to have a good look. I didn't see any creatures but the suet feeder was not hanging from the eaves. This morning David found it on the path to the beach, all bashed in. Definitely not a racoon!
