Who knew bears liked lettuce?

After dinner this evening, we suddenly saw the large grizzled neighborhood bear, who has an urban bear collar, in the front of the house through the glass storm door.  The glare through the door didn't make for a good photo, but....

 

He was checking out the closest raised bed, and much to our surprise, started eating a young butter crunch lettuce transplant, planted a week or two.  Hmm.  He munched that one (it had been a LOT bigger) ignoring the kale and chard nearby, then moved to another lettuce transplant in an adjoining bed, munching it down, too.

Rather remarkable to have such a large omnivore roam by, with herbivore interests.
