Animal Experts Advise Removal Of Feeders, Barrels

BOSTON -- Officials across New England were continuing to sound a warning to residents to beware of bears.
The warning follows several recent sightings of bears around the region. In one home video from Concord, N.H., a bear was seen wandering into a yard in a busy neighborhood Thursday.
It ate a woman's entire flock of chickens.

Bears have also been popping up on properties in Massachusetts' Concord-Carlisle area.

Animal experts advise taking down bird feeders, covering barrels and keeping pets in sight.

They said the bears are looking for any and all food as they stock-up for hibernation season.

I finally got these posted, I have more, but you get the idea. This is a thickly settled area, close to town.

I live near Concord MA and we had a bear in our back yard just a few weeks ago. It was sitting on the ground as my two small dogs barked and ran around it. They actually chased it up a tree! This was a pretty big black bear, maybe 200-250 lbs. The bear was growling and I thought for sure my dogs were toast. We keep our dogs in at night now.

The bear destroyed my neighbor's fake coyote (to scare the geese) and a few of their bird feeders, and flipped over their composter. Luckily we had no damage. But I hear bears will go after dirty bbq grills so gave me additional incentive to clean ours up and put it away.
