According to our local little paper that covers a 5 town area in western Connecticut, there have been 26 reported bear sightings in my town in the past year. 812 for the whole state. They don't give any statistics to compare with previous years, but they note the steady increase the past few years. They quote a wildlife biologist - "The bear population is growing because of forest regrowth, which happens over decades of farmland abandonment." Article also says 80% of bear sightings involve bird feeders.
