I went on my annual mountain huckleberry expedition yesterday and found yet another effect of our very cool and wet onset of summer. The ripe berries that I found were bigger than normal, but there were very few of them. Lots of tiny green berries on the bushes and given that we have already had freezing temps at 6000 feet, I am not optimistic. Since this food is a prime fall food for the bears, I predict that we will see more reports of bear interaction with homeowners as the bears look to supplement their diets.
