This male black bear heads into the woods on Tuesday, May 11, 2021 off a logging road in Grays Harbor County. The cub was one of two released back into the wild after spending the past 15 months at the PAWS Wildlife Center in Lynnwood, where their caretakers took extra care not to expose them to humans.
