Sippican Week just received this email from reader Barbara Tully:

"Look who's checking out our home improvements on Thursday Sept. 22, around 5 p.m.

The bear came out of the woods in the vicinity of Tinkham Pond and into a backyard on Long Plain Road.

It visited the next door neighbor before returning and walking up the driveway, crossing the street and visiting there. Wonderful to see!"

Be sure to check out our "Where's the Bear?" map for a comprehensive list of bear sightings.
