We are receiving calls about a black bear sighting in the northern portion of Onondaga County and have notified the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. If you do come across the bear, do not approach it, or block its escape route. Instead, watch from a distance and allow it to leave on its own.
Remember: Bears are wild animals - LEAVE THEM ALONE. Remove all food sources – including securing trash cans, taking down bird feeders, and cleaning grills – so you do not attract bears looking for food. Bears are wild animals and they do not realize they are in our neighborhoods - they are simply seeking food.
The photo below was secured yesterday evening from a homeowner’s security camera in the area of Soule Road and Oswego Road. As of this morning, the bear was seen in the area of Maple Road and Caughdenoy Road.
