Advisory

Black Bear sighting near the communities around Coloma Street, Bee Street, Coloma Court, and Hwy 193 at Hwy 49.

Tonight before dusk we had two separate black bear sightings however based on the information its believed they were of the same bear. Black Bears live among us. While they are seldom seen in the city limits they do manage to come into town on occasion. In nearly all cases they come and go without to much notice. However, they are wild animals and they will seek simple food sources IE: garbage can's, outdoor pet foods, or other such inviting smells. Be aware, keep your distance, and stay safe. Report nuisance bears.
