BLACK BEAR

Tolland, MA - I was driving down a dirt road yesterday and saw this bear. I stopped my truck and frantically grabbed my camera (which was in my coat pocket in the passenger seat) and quickly snapped the picture. Bear sightings are not that common unless you have a bird feeder in your back yard. Ironically, this was my second bear sighting in a week. The other bear ran into the bushes before I got a clear shot of him. These photos are doubly hard because I have two barking dogs in the back of the truck.
