A Fox 29 viewer in Richland Township near Quakertown says the young male black bear was back in their yard near Route 309 on Tuesday after a previous visit on July 28.

On Tuesday, the bear destroyed a shepherd’s hook as he tried to swipe a bird feeder.

The viewer said Pennsylvania Game officials asked people in the area to stop feeding their pets outdoors, and to consider taking down bird feeders as a precaution.

Last month, a black bear was spotted near Ridge Road just below Quakertown, and last summer saw bear spotting in the area.
