A Peachland woman was recently treated to some wildlife drama in her backyard.
Jacqueline McGrath discovered a bear cub crying for its mother, at the top of a hill in the backyard of her home on Ponderosa Drive, Sunday night.
The mother had been after McGrathÏã½¶ÊÓÆµÖ±²¥™s pear trees.

The young bear squawks for just over a minute before wandering toward its mother. Then the mother appears along with another cub, who eventually make their way out of McGrathÏã½¶ÊÓÆµÖ±²¥™s yard.
McGrath caught the whole interaction on video and posted to a local Facebook page, which garnered many cheerful responses.
However, the incident serves as a reminder that it is the end of the summer season, the fruit is ripening on trees and bear sightings are becoming more common.
