Although most have begun hibernating, some bears are active late into the season. They will eat anything they can to store as much fat as possible. Until bear season is over, people are asked to refrain from feeding birds, bring in bird feeders at night, clean up spilled seed or suet, and clean food from recyclable containers before disposing of them in bins.
