• Two black bear sightings reported in Southeast Michigan; here's what to know (wxyz.com) — A black bear was spotted near Grafton Road and Carleton Rockwood Road in Carleton early Sunday, prompting safety reminders from the Michigan DNR. Officials say the young bear has not acted aggressively but urge residents to secure bird feeders, clean grills, and avoid leaving trash or pet food outside so it doesn’t keep returning to neighborhoods.
