Ha! I figure I'm pretty safe since you're 2,700 miles away and there's no Bears in my neighborhood!
When I lived at the coast I had Black Bears that would come into the yard occasionally. There were two Bald eagles that nested in a big fir tree next to my garage. During the later spring months the sea bass come up to the surface and feed on the crab zoea (larva). You'll have acres upon acres of sea bass flipping all over the surface. Perfect pickings for the eagles to snatch up and take to the eaglets in the nest. When they are done eating the fish and wanting to keep a clean nest they kick the carcasses out of the nest. In my case these landed all around my garage and driveway, typically when I wasn't around during the day. Never would forget the first time I came home I saw all these sea bass carcases all over my driveway. Thought my fishing buddies were playing a joke on me. A day or so later I caught one of the eagles in the act of pitching out the trash! Anyways, this attracted the black bears looking for an easy snack after sleeping all winter!
