CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) - A 22News viewer welcomed three guests into their yard. 22News viewer Art Boutin saw three black bears in their yard and started recording on camera. In the video, you can see two bears looking around the yard around a large tree, when a third one comes running up to join them. One of the bears starts to climb the tree. Chicopee crews put out basement fire on Hilton Street Mass.gov states that in the spring, bears feed on lush, green emerging plants and are often seen in wetlands. In the summertime, they take advantage of ripening berries and can often be found in thick regenerating forest stands where berries are often found. Bears also eat grubs and insects, dead animals, and occasionally young deer. Black bears are black overall with a brown muzzle and sometimes a white chest patch, with large feet that are well-padded, with moderate-sized, curved claws. The National Park Service says that if you see a bear, you should do the following: Remain watchful Do not approach it Do not allow the bear to approach you If the bear is at a distance, feeding or walking by, and notices you but continues its natural behavior, no action is needed on your part. Proceed while continuing to observe the bear. If your presence causes the bear to change its behavior (stops feeding, changes its travel direction, watches you, etc.) you are too close. Being too close may promote aggressive behavior from the bear such as running toward you, making loud noises, or swatting the ground. The bear is demanding more space. Don’t run, but slowly back away, watching the bear. Increase the distance between you and the bear. The bear will probably do the same.
