Yes, Bravos to Patrick for having birdseed waiting for Luca. Luca, legacy guest and sibling of The Bear Who Loved Patrick, should get some "bearie points" and the attending benefits.
Luca is such a dainty girl! Her paws are so delicate! What a beauty! I'm glad she got the birdseed. It is all part of that Southern hospitality - she remembers cubhood visits! 🐻♥
Luca has that certain "charm" about her that no one could resist. Hoping she returns to Patrick's Porch next year with little ones of her own 🐻. Your videos are so delightful. Thank you, Patrick. Take care. ❤
Luca loved her visit today-birdseed! I even got excited when I saw the feeder!! She’s a beautiful girl.😊❤ She may have made a mess but she’s one heck of a vacuum cleaner! 😂😂😂
Luca is so GORGEOUS & loves coming to see her BEST FRIEND Patrick! She noticed the bird feeder was up again and went straight up the railing like a gymnastic to get all the GOODIES! She cleans up after herself also stops to look at you to say "THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT TREATS PATRICK!!" ❤️Can't wait for her to come back with her cubs after hibernation! Also pray to God Simone or some of her young ones come by to see you Patrick! Hope you have a wonderful evening and thank you for sharing Lucas visit with us Patrick! You truly are a beautiful person inside and out! 💯☝️💕🐾🐻❤
Patrick, I'm so grateful to you for 'standing your ground' when beautiful Luca stood and stared at you for so long. What a gift that was! She's become so meaningful as the last residual piece of our beloved Simone that we have. I think Simone & crew were relocated and so Luca is our last connection to her. Somehow, she seems to understand this. She's so magnificent and so loyal that I would love us all to pray for her well-being. I'm not usually religious but I feel we need to ask for her protection.
Luca is very careful. "Someone has arranged these pumpkins very carefully. I won't disturb these beautiful pumpkins. Slowly I turn, inch by inch, step by step, the smell of birdseed beckons me onward. Up the balustrade and onto the railing I go." That's one good-looking bear. Thank you Patrick
😂I see the bird feeder is back in use. Bear Simone sure taught her daughter Luca well. I hope there is some word on Simone; I miss her a lot. Meantime, the lovely Luca is quite a treat. She needs to hurry & fatten up for hibernation season. ❤🐻
Black bears tend to shy away from conflict and confrontation. Bears are actually considered to be intelligent. I'm glad you are getting to see Patrick's well-behaved crew.
Excellent! Me too! I would have been nervous if Luca was looking at me like that, but Patrick stayed calm (as usual) and everything was fine. I think you put it perfectly: “coexist and respect their boundaries”. Simone and Milo actually touched Patrick a few times, but Patrick knew them both very well (and vice-versa) and Patrick gently let them know that they were too close, and Simone understood. Milo was just a cub, so it took him longer.
@@thetooginator153Milo had a playful bite at Patrick's knee, that's more than a touch. Still it was so sweet at the time. Now it would be more serious, Milo isn't a cub any more.
Hey Luca, so your perseverance finally paid off. You made a right old mess but were a good bear and cleaned it up. See you again soon. Give my love to mama. Thanks Patrick.
I love to see how a bear walks and Luca gave a perfect performance. Her hind feet are fascinating. She is calm, cautious and respectful of you. She's round and beautiful looking now before Winter. I deeply appreciate your sharing your bear friends with us. And what a lovely gathering of pumpkins you have on the front steps. Thank you, Patrick.
🐻💓😘👏👌Oh uncle Patrick all these beautiful bears have loved for you everday Luca is so so sweet don't be shy around Patrick he is the best friend anyone can have they trust him they will appreciate it y'all be safe and have a blessed day ❤️🐻💕😘
So dainty Luca is and so very grateful for the birdseed. Love her visiting again. Your pumpkins are really pretty too. Thank you for sharing Patrick and be safe❤❤❤
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!! Birdseed ! That is awesome ! Luca was deep in thought about those cable employees at the end...probably thinking, "don't steal my birdseed !"
I'd like to think she was memorizing you, Patrick, so she will dream of you during her winter naps...as I believe these Asheville black bears don't really hibernate.
Aww, seeing Luca at the birdfeeder is bittersweet with remembering the times Simone snacked some. I think I heard a lady near you speak to Luca, so Luca is probably trying to tell you. She did look at the door. Please come back soon, Luca
She’s a little skeptical but walks up the steps looking at the new things on them, carefully she steps onto the porch, and looks up to see the bird seed hanger there for her taking, she hit the jackpot today! Those little seeds was just what she wanted. Hey there’s another human. Love her coat it’s so beautiful.
Wspaniałe video🎉Luca ma takie mądre i spokojne oczy. To zupełnie niesamowite. Ten piękny miś patrzył na Ciebie Patryku tak jakby chciał zapamiętać Ciebie.
Piękna, jesienna dekoracja tarasu, schodów...🎃 🎃 i super - ozdoba: 🐻 Luca 👍👏👏👏 . Zaczarowane miejsce, cisza, spokój, bezpieczeństwo... Taki powinien być cały swiat! 🌍 🌎 🌏.
Thank you Patrick for keeping us updated on Luca. He payed attention to his mom’s activities and it shows. Still miss Simone though. She probably has her hands full with her new children.
Happy to see beautiful bear, Luca, enjoyed some birdseed . She had grown big, very healthy and a real beauty. Thanks again for sharing! I missed the other bears too. I hope they are all OK and well.
Thanks, Patrick. Was hoping to see Luca again before winter. That thoughtful gaze - would love to know what's behind it. I think your speaking broke the spell.
Bear Luca gracing us with her beautiful presence again today. It's already Autumn. I wonder if Luca will have a cub in hibernation. Hopefully, we find out next Spring.
Hi Mr Conley! Luca came trick or treating early before all the treats were gone she stared you down because there were no peanut m&m's!😆 Happy Autumn 🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁
Oh my goodness you back uncle Pat!! And that mowing job with crisscross and the cornstalk and pretty pumpkins 🎃! wow, Luca is Lucky today and she knew the routine perfectly. So good to see y’all now that it’s Fall 🍁.
Lucas a Beautiful Bear ❤ your porch looks cool Patrick👍looks even better now luca is there 😊🎉🎉 hes been tagged looksa bit drowsy hes a bigfella 😮 stay safe hi to all
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I don’t know which I enjoy more your “description” comments or the videos! It’s close, but today’s comments are hysterical!! Off the grid indeed!
Hi Patrick! It's so nice to see beautiful and sweet, Luca! This video made my day!! Thank you so much for sharing. I hope that you have a wonderful day. Much love!!❤❤❤🧸
There's your beautiful Luca, makes me so happy too see her. Won't be much longer and the furbabies will be hibernating! That makes me sad, no more furbabies snooping around for munchies for what seems like forever. 😩 Thanks Patrick for making my day.❤🐻🐾❤🐻🐾❤❤❤
She was definitely assessing your reaction to something, probably the people in the woods. What a long stare, followed by a blink! Your calm seemed to reassure her, because blinking seems to be a type of dialog among animals like dogs, cats, (bears?) that communicates "OK". She has neither fear of nor aggression towards you, maybe seems to take a cue from you as to how to react? I like your pumpkin and corn display!
OMG i don't know how he does it. Is Patrick sitting on the porch or inside? is there any chance they can get aggressive? first time here- thank you for this💜🦋 💜
He's on the porch, and on at least one occasion, in his front yard. So far as I've seen over a couple years of videos, no aggression. The several bears who visit him (including mothers who bring along their cubs) seem to respect him. @@k-pop-korn6825
@@k-pop-korn6825Patrick sits on his porch. He has been doing this for years now. Yes there is always a chance with Any animal that they can attack or become aggressive. But, with Patrick’s experience and demeanour around them, that chances go down somewhat. Welcome 🙏 btw and enjoy the videos. They are sooooo worth it. Greetings from Scotland 🏴
Luca is in Luck today the birdseed tray is full. I think that long stare was to say thank you. Pity she got spooked, I'm sure she was heading to the seed that fell on the ground. Another great video Patrick. Thank you.
Luca takes her time, she is very careful.🎉She is such a beautiful bear with her shining fur. Your pumpkins are big and lovely.I can't buy these ones in my country. Have a nice weekend with your family and Thank you for the video.❤❤❤❤

hm... not quite sure if I liked the way she walked up and kept staring at you. If it were a cat, it'd be asserting dominance.
❤🐻👏👌I'm sure Luca was shy around uncle Patrick he is their favorite friend what a sweet bear she is ruby and simone are my favorite bears🐻💕❤️
🐻👌I got scared when Luca the bear stared at uncle Patrick I'm sure she meant no harm just curious 🐻😘💓
I got scared to you wonder what they are thinking
🤔🐻😘Yeah you wonder what these bears are thinking they ears go up and then stare I'm sure Luca was shy and curious at the same time🐻👌💓
So much trouble and conflict in the world - then Patrick Conley posts and a beautiful bear makes the day bright. ❤
Yes, well said. @gabriellew
Bears make a lot of conflict
Thanks for being the obligated idiot who brings politics into an innocent wildlife bear video 🙄
Right ! =[
🤎 🙏🏻
Amen to that!
That face...and the intelligence in her eyes! She is so sweet!
Hello Patrick 👋 Luca seems to just like your company and is in no hurry to leave she's a good girl just like her mother 🐻🌿🎃🌿🎃
where is simone?
Things are back to normal - bears and birdseed - a little piece of heaven
She walks so Gracefully! ❤️

Luca is beautiful. I'm surprised the bears don't take the pumpkins and run! Then again this is Patrick's 100 acre woods, they know better🐻💙🎃
It’s like Luca goes in *stealth* mode when coming on the porch! She’s so precious and cautious!!! 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

Aw, sweet Luca came for a visit and a snack, and we enjoyed seeing her. She loves that birdseed.

You are a great filmer Mr. Conley. On top of that bear whispering business.
Oh, and that lawn....
Lina was curious and careful around the decor but spied the bird feeder😊. Whoever mows the grass did a neat blocked pattern. Very strikingl
Luca may be more cautious than her Mom, and more easily spooked, but she's just as persistent and it paid off big time!
She is very comfortable on the porch that noises don’t make her flinch. You have done a great job making your home their home!!
