WINDHAM, N.H. (CBS) -- Spring is here, and that means bears are coming out of hibernation.

One was spotted on the hunt for birdseed on Range Road in Windham, New Hampshire.

Police there are reminding residents that bears will be out and about - and they are ready to feast.

"Bears are coming out of hibernation and are very hungry after their long winter's nap," Windham police said in a Facebook post.
