Special to The Bedford Citizen
It appears the black bear that made an appearance at a Chestnut Lane bird feeder early on the morning of July 29 may have remained in the area for at least a few days longer. A bear’s image was captured on a home game camera at 11:24 pm on August 3 as she/he meandered in the woods off Carlisle Road, but the homeowners just downloaded the camera’s zip drive and found the photograph on August 19.
“Our son installed a motion-sensitive game camera in the woods behind our house last Christmas,” said the homeowners who prefer to remain anonymous. “We’ve seen a lot of deer and other critters but never a bear, although a blurry image with two bright eyes that was captured on August 1 may also have been one.” The homeowners are perplexed about the bear’s visit: “There’s nothing back there but trees and brush,” they report.
