It's not every day a bear stands on your shed.

It sure was a sight to see yesterday (Sept. 25) for Paulette Blais and her neighbours in Old Fort, a suburb south of Fort St. John, B.C.

A mama bear and her cub were moseying through a number of yards picking the last of the chokecherries before settling in for winter.

Done with all the low-hanging fruit, the mama bear climbed up a tree, found itself on the shed, and started feeding from the top.

The bears weren't aggressive, just calmly feeding, and climbed down and left after about 10 minutes.
