"Bearly" wanted to leave this beautiful guy!

Okay, let me just say this really has nothing to do with Port Jervis news, but I'm sharing because I think this beautiful big guy is 100% worth sharing and I want to have others experience at least a bit how gorgeous he was up close.

I spent way more time than I probably should have when I was lucky enough to encounter this guy today. I followed him from a distance and enjoyed every second of -- maybe an hour -- of his gentle giant natural life.

He was quite aware that I was there, but at no time did he ever seem annoyed with me. And, and even when he was scolded by the owner of a bird feeder he inadvertently knocked down, (captured in these awesome video clips, awesome for me) he just scurried away.

What an absolutely awesome treat to be able to experience this today!
