Bear Crashes Bloomingdale Barbeque

Send us your photos of our furry neighbors.

Not all of our neighbors walk on two legs in the tri-boro. Wildlife ranging from big to small sizes are in our yards and on our roadways all the time...and we want to see them!

Featured this week is a Black Bear who made a cameo at a barbeque at Bloomingdale resident Walt Ratushny's house. Ratushny said he was having a family gathering on Sunday when at about 7 p.m., the bear popped up. No one was endangered, but the bear pictured above was seen at the corner of Walter Drive and Clark Street.

Send us your photos of animals you've seen around Kinnelon, Butler and Bloomingdale at . Let us know where you saw them, when you saw them and a funny caption if you'd like.
