JUNEAU -- More and more black bears are cruising Juneau's downtown.
Department of Fish and Game biologist Ryan Scott told the Juneau Empire that several calls came in over the weekend about bears spotted downtown.
Scott said winter is on its way and the bears are looking for food. He said there have been reports of at least one black bear family consisting of a sow and two cubs, as well as a lone adult that has been showing up. A car hit a bear on Saturday.
Scott said it's not unusual to have bear sightings in town this time of year.
