"If we get sun to the end of August, things look positive: A bumper crop of berries and less bear activity in the valley.
And there was bear activity every night.
From the water, you can safely view shore-side bear activity from a distance.
Black bear activity along the trail in New Jersey increased rapidly starting in 2001.
Bears in the Lake Tahoe, Yosemite and beyond usually spend December through March napping in caves, but residents and visitors have noticed an increase in bear activity typical of summer months.
Habitat partitioning appeared most evident in MEF, where black bear activity peaked at 14 signs/ha, and sun bears were much less common despite abundant fruit (Fig. 3, Table 2).
Finally, we postulated that avoidance of black bears by smaller-bodied sun bears might depend on ground cover for concealment [35]; therefore, for sun bears only, we included an interaction term between black bear activity (fresh signs/ha) and ground cover.
However, considering sign up to a year old, foraging activity by black bears was significantly higher in MEF (13.9/ha) than in SEF or MDF (X2 = 19.85, df = 2, P<0.0001), whereas sun bear activity was highest in SEF (9.2/ha; X2 = 27.23, df = 2, P<0.0001; Fig. 3).
Black bear activity was then summed for a cumulative daily count.
