Black Bear Sighting in MontCo

A black bear was spotted in the yard of a home in Montgomery County Sunday.

Police and the Game Commission were called to the Gilbertsville area around 8 p.m. after neighbors spotted the bear going through their yards.

They say the bear was eating from bird feeders in their yards and then ran off into the nearby woods.

Michele Wensel spotted the bear twice.

“I was driving down the road and out of no where this big black bear crossed in front of me and immediately I called 9-1-1.”

Wensel saw the bear a second time in her back yard when she arrived home.
