Black Bear heading for the woods - a photo on Flickriver

            Most Black Bears are wary of people, and try to stay in places where they are unlikely to encounter people.  But sometimes their love of food brings them into contact with humans, such as around garbage dumps and picnic areas.  But most of the time they stay hidden in the woods eating roots and berries.  But coastal Black Bears know that every twelve hours the low tide gives them access to tasty seafood, such as crabs and shellfish.  So they will venture out of the woods and onto the shore when the tide is low.  But again, this is usually in quiet spots where they are unlikely to encounter humans.  But if you cruise the shoreline at low tide you can often see several Black Bears turning over rocks on the water's edge.  But if you approach they will often head back into the woods, often trying to appear nonchalant, as if they were heading that way anyway.  This one was heading back into the woods from the shoreline near Zeballos but gave a backward glance to see if we were still there.
