Angelo Clerici of Beechwood Road had another visit from a bear in his neighborhood in northern Basking Ridge on Thursday, June 7. A bear had dropped by the same neighborhood just a little over a year ago.

Angelo Clerici of Beechwood Road submitted another set of photos of a visiting bear who was in his neighborhood on Thursday morning — just about a year after last year's visit.
The bear was in the area of William Street and Beechwood Road at around 7:30 a.m. Among his stops was a little break to nose around a blue wheel barrow that Clerici said his neighbor uses for wood chips.
"The bear just walked by and heard the click of my camera shooting pictures and stopped and looked at me," Clerici said when submitted the photos. "Then I took another picture."
Just a few years ago, Basking Ridge was considered the very fringe of bear country in New Jersey — but maybe not any more.
One more reason to think twice about putting out trash the night before a scheduled collection day!
