Black bear spotted in Ogle County tree

A 250-pound black bear spotted around northern Illinois was seen again on Wednesday- up in a tree.

The Ogle County Sheriff says the bear climbed the tree after being spotted in a backyard.

State wildlife officials say the bear is on the move Wednesday night and that they're tracking it.

In recent weeks, the bear has been spotted in Winnebago, Boon, and DeKalb counties.
