TWO SMOKEY MOUNTAIN BEARS PER SQUARE MILE

Photo by Gary Carter

There are about 1,600 black bears in Great Smoky Mountains National Park and
nearly 11 million annual visitors in area a bit more than 800 square miles. The
park’s wildlife biologists have the challenging job of managing the interactions
between them.  Full story here.

Did you know that a safe distance for viewing bears is 50 yards?  That’s almost
twice the distance from the pitcher’s mound to home plate!

IT’S ARBOR DAY IN SOUTH CAROLINA

Each state has its own Arbor Day based on the best time to plant a tree (depends
on Hardiness Zone).  South Carolina’s Arbor Day is the first Friday of December.
 Hope you can celebrate by planting a tree or just appreciating them.



The Palmetto is a symbol of the defeat of the British fleet at Fort Moultrie on
Sullivan’s Island. The fort was built of Palmetto logs, which absorbed the
impact of the cannon balls.

EATING MINDFULLY THIS THANKSGIVING WITH GRATITUDE

The following is a short dedication of merit regarding nourishment from the
Buddhist tradition expressing their aspiration that the work they’ve done
benefits all beings:

May we all become free from anxiety and fear about eating.  May we all be at
ease.  May we all be content as we nourish this precious human body and mind.
 May our hearts be happy and satisfied as we walked the path of awakening.

– Jan Chozen Bays, MD, Author of Mindful Eating

HIKE BY MOONLIGHT TONIGHT!

Tonight’s moon is full, super and hunting.*  The bright Hunter’s Moon will rise
around sunset and set around sunrise.  It is the only night in the month when
the Moon is in the sky all night long.  The path of tonight’s full Moon makes a
narrow angle with the horizon so, there is not a long period of darkness between
sunset and moonrise.  The best time to see tonight’s moon is around
moonrise when you may see it in a twilight sky.



* Full moon – The Moon’s illuminated side is facing the Earth. The Moon appears
to be completely illuminated by direct sunlight.

* Supermoon – (Not an official astronomical term.) A full Moon or a new Moon at
its closest point to Earth in its monthly orbit; also called perigee.
 Timeanddate.com defines a Supermoon by distance from the Earth: less than
223,694 miles (vs 248,548 miles).

* Hunter’s Moon – First Full Moon following the Harvest Moon last month.

Last month’s Harvest Moon taken with iPhone through binoculars.

HICKORY HORNED DEVIL AT EYE LEVEL

This Hickory Horned Devil (HHD) almost became my afternoon snack since I
practically ran into him at ‘mouth level’ while hiking.  In fact, this South
Carolinian Regal Moth larva can grow to the size of a hot dog (5 – 5.5″ in
length)! If you live somewhere  here,



you may see HHDs in the summertime.  By now, they have burrowed in the ground to
pupate and look like this:



As early as May, you may see the regal or royal walnut moth, Citheronia
regalis (Fabricius) – one of our largest and most spectacular moths.  The Regal
Moth’s wingspan ranges from 3.75″ to 6.10″!

OVER 900 BLACK BEARS IN THE UPSTATE?

South Carolina Black Bear Population

The mountain black bear population of South Carolina is located primarily in
Oconee, Pickens, Greenville and Spartanburg Counties; the coastal population is
found in Georgetown and Horry Counties.



Black bear in the mountains of South Carolina seem to be expanding their range
southward and westward and their population is increasing.  A 2004  study
conducted in a section of the mountains of North Carolina, South Carolina and
Georgia indicated a preliminary population estimate of approximately one bear
per square mile. (Settlage et al. 2004) This would indicate that approximately
900 bears are located in the Upstate!

Bamberg County – “No Documented Occurence”

The light blue county shown above is Bamberg County. According to 2010 census
figures, it is the 4th smallest county by population and land area (sq miles) in
the state of South Carolina. It has approximately 40 people per square mile (9th
smallest). A professional hunter and owner of Lowcountry Deer Mineral stated
that he hasn’t seen any bears in Bamburg County but has seen bear tracks!

Typically, black bears require large expanses of forest dominated by a diversity
of mast-producing hardwoods and shrubs intermixed with early successional
vegetation such as blackberries, pokeberries, etc. However, black bears are
adaptable. As long as they can find adequate food sources and have suitable den
sites, black bears can be found in a variety of habitats.

I spoke with a DNR wildlife biologist who believes there are bears in Bamberg
County, but no record of sightings. I also spoke with two separate wildlife
removal experts who work in Bamburg. One surmised that there may be too much
competition for resources with wild hogs in the county, however, surrounding
counties have bear sightings as well as hogs. The other joked that maybe Heirs
Drugstore was using bear repellent!

More info.

APPRECIATING NATURE EVERYWHERE

Do yourself a favor and take a second…or maybe even a minute or two and
appreciate your natural surroundings.  If you don’t have the privilege of living
in a place like the Foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, you can always look
up!
