Peekskill bear

Here’s a photo of the black bear currently treed in Peekskill, courtesy of our roving bear correspondent, Terry Corcoran. The bear is hanging out in a tree in front of the First Hebrew Congregation of Peekskill on Route 6. State wildlife authorities toting a tranquilizer gun are on their way from the Department of Environmental Conservation office in New Paltz. As Terry reports, the plan is to tranquilize the bruin and remove him to less-congested pastures. 
The dark blotch in the middle of the tree is the bear.
Here’s a video of a similar operation in Montana.
Here’s a story about bears in neighboring Connecticut and more info on bears is in this recent blog post.
