A Black bear will stay up if near a fast food dumpster...... Denver I think had an example of this. Mmmmmmmm Burger King

By far the latest I've seen a Bear out on the Eastside

Absolutely believable. Its been in the 50s all week. Note the snowpack in the area.

Watching a Robin tossing leaves in the orchard back of the house. Came in yesterday.
Hope the hills get some snow this year.
