Black bear spotted on the move along Huntington Road

SUNRIVER, Ore. (KTVZ) -- KTVZ viewer Brad Baer shared with us a video of a black bear sighting just before 2 p.m. Monday, ambling along in the woods near Huntington Road, south of Sunriver.

According to Baer, the bear was "slow-moving and minding its own business."

According to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Oregon is home to about 25,000 to 30,000 black Bears, North America's most common bear species. By the way, while generally black in color, they can also be brown, cinnamon or blond.
