State wildlife officials are asking people to take down their birdfeeders to avoid attracting bears.

"We are receiving reports of bears getting into bird feeders," said Col. David LeCours, of the Department of Fish and Wildlife. "People can help now by removing any food sources that may tempt the bears. That includes taking down bird feeders and not feeding birds until late October."

Officials caution: Time to take feeders down
