Bear sighting. This little guy was seen grabbing a snack in a resident’s backyard this evening in the area of Highland Pines Drive. Attached are two links with more information about black bears. The first link is to the Pennsylvania Game Commission website. The second link is to BearWise, a website that provides information to help homeowners, businesses and communities learn to coexist with bears. Edited. We’ve decided to attach a third link for some comic relief. https://www.pgc.pa.gov/Wildlife/WildlifeSpecies/BlackBear/Pages/default.aspx https://bearwise.org https://fb.watch/lgKD2BMeXJ/?mibextid=MnnKW6
