Urban Bears?

Black bear sighted in Concord, Mass.

The link above takes you to a Boston Globe story (very short) about the bear sighting. "Since this Spring, there have been four bear sightings in Concord." Possibly the same bear, or family of bears, I suppose. Concord is about twenty miles out of Boston, but the article describes it as "Greater Boston."

I have posted before on my feelings about urban bears. Long story short: I hope we can learn to live with them, cause they ain't goin' anywhere (their population is increasing, from low post-colonial numbers) and we're spreading into their neighborhoods.

Police had to taser a bear wandering around near the University of Washington campus here a couple weeks ago. That's well within city limits of Seattle.
