A young black bear sits in a tree in the rear of 33 John David Lane in Albany, New York May 27, 2004.  He climbed the tree to avoid the humans that awaited him on the ground below the tree.  ENCON officers were called to tranquilize the bear and remove him from the tree.  Here the bear yawns at the humans below.
