Juliet - January 11, 2014
Tonight we start the rocky road of Juliet?s Den Cam videos with this 5-minute video from January 11, 2014. It is an inauspicious beginning, glitchy and lacking audio. Seeing the problems, the team worked harder than ever, spent more than ever, and eventually got things more or less on track in time for the births. The reward was learning a lot about Juliet and her cubs.
We are uploading the den cam highlights to two locations. On our regular YouTube channel:

The 2 ?-minute flashback for tonight is from April 16, 2007, the day the family permanently left their den
http://youtu.be/UqeiQS7P5kc. June has occasion to climb another teetering balsam fir to retrieve another cub. Climbing this kind of tree was hard enough that June had to pause several times to bite the trunk to keep from slipping. She carefully bit the fur on the cub?s leg to pull it out of the tree and carry it down dangling upside down.
At the Bear Center today, Holly stretched, yawned toward the Den Cam, and rearranged her bed in this 5-minute video
