Black bear at start of Heritage Rail Trail in Orange County, NY (1.5 hour north of NYC). I just posted this in the Bear thread.

I've seen 2 of them on this trail. Also had one run across the path 20' in front of us in nearby Harriman State Park a couple years ago.

2 weeks ago also had a BB cub run across the road in front of us circling Ashokan reservoir in the Catskills.
