From the Associated Press — An apparently homesick bear who was moved from an area in northwestern Michigan where he had raided bird feeders and trash cans has traveled back to the same location. The Traverse City Record-Eagle reports Friday that a radio collar placed on the bear indicates he’s back in Grand Traverse County following his removal in April to the Alpena area. The bear was
trapped by state wildlife officials. He was given a lip tattoo, ear tags and fitted with the electronic collar before being carted to the eastern Lower Peninsula. Michigan Department of Natural Resources experts using weekly plane flyovers tracked the collar heading back west.
