More Bears - although seldom seen these creatures are not uncommon in the area.
 
This bear was spotted along Hwy 29, south of Immokalee.  It was approximately 12 foot off the ground in a Brazilian pepper bush feeding on Brazilian pepper berries.  It was intent on dinner and feed for nearly an hour despite the constant rush of traffic a few feet away.  Branches were breaking from it's weight as it moved about in the bush.   Photo by Chris McAvoy.
