Sunday afternoon saw the Fairfield Bay Police Department respond to a call in reference to a black bear causing damage to a bird feeder.

The caller stated that the offending bear stole a bird feeder off the back porch of their residence and carried it into the yard.

Authorities remind citizens that although it may seem cuddly and cute a bear could potentially harm you, so please do not approach the bear.

If you live in the area of Pine Hill Road it would be wise to remove any outdoor food for wildlife.

The bear has been seen at Tanglewood Circle and Stillwood Circle.
