Dan Lovelace, with the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, said that, lately, black bears are becoming more common in residential areas. There have been at least three bear sightings in the last few days. The department said bears mainly show up in residential areas in search of their natural food. To keep bears out of your neighborhood, remove trash and bird feeders, pick up pet food and clean the grill often. Don't try to approach it, don't try to feed it and just keep bears wild by giving them their space," said Lovelace.
