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 bear must have felt at home because it came by again last night, Friday, Oct. 5. Stormville is about seven miles due north of Kent, where last weekend a lar…

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…
