May 7 (UPI) -- Residents of an Ontario town are being warned to take down their bird feeders after a resident captured video of a young bruin feasting in her yard.

Kim Leger-Frawley of Sudbury captured video of then young bear climbing on her back porch and raiding her bird feeder as Leger-Frawley and her family watched from inside the house.

Locals said the video should serve as a reminder to residents to take down their bird feeders and secure their garbage as the bears wake from hibernation and go searching for food.

Bears are a frequent site in Sudbury, with an entire family of the animals being spotted last fall sitting near the top of a crab apple tree and feasting on fruits.
