At around noon on Tuesday, September 20, 2022, MTN News anchor/reporter Jill Valley was getting some video of ducks at the Sha-Ron Fishing Access Site in East Missoula when she had quite the surprise.
Across the Clark Fork River, a bear came out of the brush, went for a swim, shook itself off, and then wandered off.
Pardon some of the shaky video, but needless to say, Jill was very excited! Watch:
