Lily is Back! - UPDATE June 12, 2021
Lily
The call I’ve been waiting for came in—a bear that looks like Lily. It was! She is her same old self. She ignores me completely. But she knows its me. I can approach her without her looking up. I can touch her without her flinching. It felt good to see her and know she survived to be 14 years old despite the efforts of some to shoot her as a trophy. She is not lactating, although this is her year to have cubs. I can’t explain it. I never can. Sometimes that just happens and they have cubs the next year. That might be special. If we get a DNR permit to track her to a den and have a den cam, we will almost certainly see her have cubs.

When I get my current task done, my next effort will be to write a report about Spanky and file a request to the DNR to be granted a permit to use radio collars, track bears to dens, and put den cams in the dens that have the most scientific value. Another year of Lily with cubs would be at the top of the list to compare with her previous 4 years (2010-2013) when she was 3-6 years old. There are other bears that will accept radio collars that I’d also like to watch. I’m feeling hopeful.

Thank you for all you do.

Sharon’s Bear News, Valentine, and Chloe - UPDATE June 13, 2021
Out the window, Valentine provided an excellent opportunity for an ID picture, showing her blaze plus the little line of white hairs above it that has shown up in her pictures since she was a cub. ValentineShe was totally relaxed and on her own with a patch of hair rubbed off each flank.

ChloeThen she was alert and tense. Chloe was here with her sons Charlie Brown and Lincoln. Five-year-old Valentine, half again the size of 3-year-old Chloe, didn’t want to be in trouble with a mother, so she ran. Chloe lunged in Valentine’s direction and slapped the ground but didn’t pursue her. Chloe’s cubs were safe, having climbed a white pine at the first expulsion of air by their mother. Then Chloe was just as calm as Valentine was before Chloe arrived, and Chloe’s cubs Charlie Brown and Lincoln came down from their tree. Each of these bears ignores a person in this safe area.

Shortly, though, with the arrival of a couple yearlings, Chloe and her cubs all went up a white pine. The pictures of Lincoln on a branch shows that even though he generally looks black, he can look quite brown in bright sunlight. He yawned, put his head down and closed his eyes. Charlie Brown was doing the same on another branch. Chloe was hard to see through the branches.

Lincoln   Lincoln   Charlie Brown

I like every interaction I see. Each gives a little insight into their minds.

It’s been a big week at the Bear Center with the bears, Chucky, Chewy, and more. Sharon tells about it with pictures here:

[johoward]

knee right now hurts a lot  must have kept it bent too long or something.  got it up and straight on top of another chair. feels a little better. will have trouble sleeping again.  no good position works.  did a little fishing today at a beautiful place called Wallace Lake in Berea OH because it was so nice.  no catching, just fishing, but very nice to be out walking and getting around a little. Ate too much today.  Red seedless grapes for only 99cents a pound and blueberries two pints for 5dollars plus strawberries from yesterday  Plus Mary's bannana bread and now Rita sends a Strawberry Patch coffee cake to die for.  I tell you I am stuffed.  Knee is swollen. Got to go put ice on it. CUL  GB

 Hi ev1 
5:11 on hamburger/kebab?.   ice does help swelling and pain.  Helps me get to sleep.  Must have slept wrong all night.  Back is killing me, and now left ankle feels like it is sprained.  I put on elastic ankle support for a few days, and it will go away.  I think it is gout related.  Been doing this for 20 years on and off.
Very nice day here today. 68 degrees partly sunny. Think I will be going out to take bike in for tune-up while I can't ride .  Also pick up jacket repaired at dry cleaner.  Been there for a while.  I keep forgetting to go get it, because it is too warm to think about a coat. LOL
Babies all doing well this morning so i will leave you and start my errands. Microsoft keeps putting up newsy screens i don't want.  Hetting fed up with it.  Will go back to using Google Chrome instead of edge to browse.

Hi Cal! Just got online and read that Liz is leaving the Blacklist after this season's last episode! And this week's episode is on at 10pm tomorrow night! I had no idea she would be leaving but then how would they make everything go back to normal after all the stuff she has done! Crow's feet still hurt but some how he hobbled around today as we power washed Robin's house. Now he is relaxing in his recliner with his feet up. So happy that Polly is getting health insurance! That's a big relief. Sis's pup Hattie got spayed today. I can't believe she is already 6 months old! She weighs 45lb's now. She follows my sis everywhere. Yesterday sis tripped over her, hit the basement door and hurt her shoulder. She had to go to the chiropractor after she dropped Hattie off at the vets office this morning!

Bbl!

[calhound]

hi you guys its 73 here 71 in the barn 3 raccoonies and jim got see the first baby show up! so darn cute i told him before the moms are sometimes pretty hateful with them he said she was he told her better stop that. every one got a few fancy cakes and their puppy chow.

hi rues! i just saw on the bottom of my tv earlier saying boone was leaving blacklist after this last show!  your right how could they undo all her stuff cant say it was a dream. so excited for this fridays show. maybe she finally realized red is not the bad guy maybe her real dad or something but then townsend gets her.  red gets her daughter who knows be exciting to see what happens! and another season of blacklist! According to What's on Netflix, seasons of the "The Blacklist" typically arrive on Netflix in September, a few months after they end their broadcast run. Season 8 will probably arrive in September 2021, and Season 9 in September 2022.May 3, 2021 yay crow is better! i know those big dogs you have to watch out for them i have been sent across the room more than once. good hattie is done with getting fixed.

Spanky, Valentine and RC - UPDATE June 16, 2021
Spanky stopped by the WRI this morning and sniffed and licked a dropping for seven minutes. Spanky
Spanky
Then he was interested in Valentine who ran away from him. Her flanks are rubbed bare from mating that probably began a month ago on May 14 with a male we still have not identified.

This evening, Spanky was back. The picture tells the story. It is 6-year-old Spanky and 22-year-old RC. We don’t completely understand the dynamics. Still learning.

Thank you for all you do.
