A black bear made a rare appearance in an East Vancouver neighbourhood Friday morning.
The wayward animal was spotted on Turner Street at Victoria Drive, strolling through the neighbourhood.
Employees at a nearby grocery store, Bosa Foods, got a front-row seat to the action.
“It had climbed the tree, the Huckleberry tree, and it was just eating the berries," said employee Samuel Dean McCuaig.
"So a bunch of people just gathered around the deli and everybody was watching."
Shortly after, McCuaig saw the bear climb down the tree and walk towards Ferndale Street.
That’s where Annie Hewitt noticed the furry visitor, who had climbed a massive tree at that point, drawing the attention of a murder of crows.
