'WILDLIFE-URBAN INTERFACE': TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT?

摘要

The pager alerted just as daylight was approaching. The dispatcher called it a "wildlife assist." A bear was in a tree next to the Golden Hotel, at the edge of the 12th Street Historic District and downtown Golden, Colorado. The tree is just three blocks from Coors Brewery and a hundred feet or so from the banks of Clear Creek. About 10 minutes earlier, my dogs had started barking wildly, and I saw the black shape of the bear lumber down my alley. I grabbed my camera as I headed out the door.
