Richard M. Hackett—Best of 2005

Thursday, May 19, 2005
A black bear peers down from a tree in the LaVista Business Park in the 7100 block of Monarch Road just west of the Diagonal Highway in Niwot. The bear was in a tree for hours before being tranquilized by Division of Wildlife officers, then ran around the business park for few minutes before succumbing to the tranquilizer. The female bear, who is about 2 years old, was tagged and taken away for release.
