Avon reader Tahra Richardson submitted this footage to Avon Patch.

Tahra Richardson, who grew up in Avon, moved back to Avon this summer and saw her first black bear Thursday at a friend's house on Bronson Road.

She bravely recorded footage of it from a screened in porch after it knocked over a bird feeder.

Thanks, Tahra for submitting this to Avon Patch.
