Antioch family spots black bear on porch, tearing down bird feeder.
A black bear surprised an Antioch family Saturday evening, when it appeared on their back porch.
"Heard a loud crash. Long story short, it was my metal bird feeder that was bolted down to my deck, and he pulled the whole thing down, and I assumed it was raccoons, because we have lots of raccoons. And I went to the door, and he was just standing there looking at me," Natalie Fields said. Fields lives on Deer Ridge Lane in Antioch. She said, after she quickly snapped a few pictures, the bear ran off.As of Monday morning, the bear has not been caught.
The Lake County Sheriff's Department issued a warning Sunday night, telling people not to approach the bear and to call police if they spot it. Sheriff's officials said they do not want to drug or relocate the bear. They said such bear sightings are becoming more common, and they don't want people to panic.
