Kaatscast: the Catskills Podcast

Black Bears đŸŸ Sharing Space

Listen Later

As Catskills black bears emerge from hibernation, we spoke with three bear experts –– wildlife rehabilitator Kristine Flones, and conservationist couple Patti and Bill Rudge –– who shared some handy tips for coexisting peaceably with our Catskills bears, including ...

  • the best time to wrap up your wild bird food (and why)
  • the importance of taking out the trash (at the crack of dawn)
  • equipping your Catskills home with a ... marine signal horn? 
  • resisting the urge to run from a bear!
  • identifying a mom with cubs
  • creating "space" on the trails

    • Congratulations to listener Douglas Black, winner of the Attwood Bellow Signal Horn!
