New Black Bear Sighting: This One Is A Real Night Owl There have been no shortage of black bear sightings throughout the area of late. Nearly all, though, have come during the day. But this weekend, we have received word of a bear who's a real night owl - so to speak. A family in Dutchess County tells us the bear has made back-to-back evening visits the last two days. The first came Thursday, Oct. 4 at about 7:30 p.m. at the residence on Gold Road in Stormville. (See photos above.)

New Bear Sightings Reported, Including In Rockland New Bear Sightings Reported, Including In Rockland
New Bear Sightings Reported, Including In Rockland It started out with a report of a black bear perched in a tree in Yorktown around noontime on Friday. The bear then fled the scene at Hanover Street almost as soon as Daily Voice posted a news alert. A reader then reported seeing it a short time later near Jennifer's Restaurant on Route 118.

Finally, the day wrapped up on the bear watch desk (at least, we think) with word of a sighting in Stormville. There's one caveat th…
