According to the Bedford Police Department’s Twitter feed, a bobcat was spotted on the Middlesex Community College Campusseveral times on Wednesday. The announcement also went out via a neighborhood-specific Robocall late in the afternoon.

Bedford’s spate of ursine visitors began in late September 2019 and lasted for nearly a month, leading a town official to quip via a Twitter reply, “The 3 Bs: Bears. Bobcats. Biergartens.”

Bobcats are wild animals; if you see one, use caution and do not approach. Watch small children and pets.
