With the below freezing temperatures at night, I left more bird feeders out than I normally do in the summer, and one reason is because of the uninvited critter that visited last night. The pictured feeder did not remain hanging once the bear reached up with its paws and pulled the feeder down. The bear took down three of the bird feeders that were not high enough up in the air, and one was carried off by the bear and another was played with as the bear laid on its back trying to open the feeder. The bear also tried to get the other feeders that were hung higher and at least they were out of the bear reach when it was standing up (until a bigger bear comes along).
