Family finds bear in back yard

We see a fair amount of wildlife in Central Pennsylvania, but Tuesday night in Blair County, a family got an unwelcome surprise from a bear raiding their bird feeder.

It happened at a home off of Hoovers Lane in Tyrone.

The family told us that they were able to scare the animal off by flickering their lights. By the time police arrived the bear had left the area.
