Nov 04, 2024
SCITUATE, R.I. (WPRI) — A black bear was once again spotted outside a Scituate home on Sunday.
Erin McManus said it was the second time her cameras captured a black bear roaming her property.
A video of the sighting on Sunday showed the bear walking around on the deck before leaving.

The first sighting, exactly one week prior on Oct. 27, went a bit differently. The bear was seen on video knocking down and walking off with a bird feeder.
It's unclear if both visits were by the same bear.
The state's Department of Environmental Management (DEM) asks that residents report sightings like these online. In the event of an active problem with a bear or other animal, the DEM recommends contacting their law enforcement division at (401)-222-3070.
