More, if You Can Bear It

The Santa Fe New Mexican published this story about the bear.  They expressed only limited information.  They did not say anything (maybe they didn't know) that the bear had been spotted (by me & my coworker) about two hours earlier and more than 2.5 miles to the west.  We suspect the bear was following the arroyo and got even more confused when it reached a more populated area.

It's not unusual for New Mexican bears to venture down from the mountains, in search of food during droughts, but to get as far from the mountain as this one did is quite surprising.
