  Pointer ...   23:56    110°   (3:44 pm)    Sunny and a bit of a breeze.

It's great to hear there is such an abundance of food for the bears.  I think Joho is there at the right time to see all this.

It's also good to hear that all went well with taking care of howler and her kittens.  It does sound like she has bonded with you.
I'm glad this years fireworks are, more or less, done with.  It is in the back of my mind that someone's roof or back yard may catch on fire because of these amateur fireworks being set off.

By the way --    Phoenix  115°  So glad my parents didn't decide on Phoenix.

A Great Group, Juneberries, Bears, and Red Squirrels - UPDATE July 6, 2023

Juneberry bush
Today was the last day of a Black Bear Field Study Course whose participants showed their strong hearts for bears. Rather than being disappointed that few bears were coming to diversionary feeding sites in the area, they reveled in seeing how strongly the bears preferred the unusually abundant wild foods, mainly juneberries and probably hazelnuts that are now full size and beginning to ripen. They were happy to see that the diversionary feeding that saves bears’ lives in years of scarcity does not detract them from the wild foods they prefer in years of availability.

WRI’s Mike Johnson saw a similar example of that preference with a red squirrel that repeatedly climbed the tiny branches of this small juneberry tree, grabbed a berry, and hurried down to the ground where it could hold it and eat it. When the squirrel moved on, Mike took a photo of the remaining berries. Only two ripe red berries remained in the single remaining cluster (picture) in this tree only a few feet from a pile of diversionary nuts that are hot items in other years, showing the same preference as we are seeing with the bears.

As a possible treat for the next group, we may have just seen our old friend Burt (son of Shadow and brother of Ursula). Was he just passing through? Or might he want to add a little diversity to his wild diet as he recovers from the weight loss of mating season. Burt is a favorite.

  Igloo ...   27:59     110°  (1:47 pm)   Sunny and windy.

I hope all is well with all of you.

Hi Cal ...   I like a group called The Little River band and they are coming to town.  My daughter asked me if I would like to go,  Actually no.  Their tickets aren't like Taylor Swift's but listening to the music I love, at home is good enough for me.  You are right, how do those kids come up with the money to go?  I've been to a few concerts before, but have no interest in going now.

 Yes, Harrison Ford has held together pretty well.  I will be looking for this latest movie of his.

Bentley and Blueberries - UPDATE July 7, 2023

Bentley
With blueberries ripening fast in open areas and a little slower in shaded areas, wild food that is already unusually abundant is increasing. Blueberries
Blueberries
WRI’s Mike Johnson and Lorie Kennedy sent the picture of the big plump blueberries that have resulted from recent rains. In the midst of food abundance, another bright moment was a visit from bright-faced yearling Bentley the gentle, trusting great grandson of Shadow (Shadow, RC, Bow, Bentley).

hi you guys its 68 here raining 59 in ice and 79 in kyiv 70 in the barn bently such a cute bear and those blue berries!

hi neva i know that band too. in my younger days went to lots of concert many big names at arrowhead sometimes and they did not command the price of swift paul mccartney came once i did not go but really like him and he did not command that price. he is more worth it than swift to me. i can listen to stuff at home. i cannot wait till indy last movie gets on tv!! i read many loved it non stop action and fun like his other ones and i loved them esp last crusade sean connery as his dad was so good. man is so handsome and seems very down to earth too.

Hi joho guessing you are still on the road but be home today sometime today this evening. you get some rest too.

I hope your day has been a good one.

Hi Cal ...   That's great that you got to see some of the big names.  I've been to a few concerts and enjoyed going.  At this place in my life, couldn't do it.  Just playing the music at home.  The last concerts 2000 - 2003, I went to was three Lonestar concerts and I wasn't into Country before that.  It was fun.

Bears in Action at the Bear Center - UPDATE July 8, 2023

Lucky

 Holly and Tasha

 Woodchuck
Woodchuck
After being cooped up wondering what is going on around them with machinery and people doing things they didn’t understand, the bears got out and had a look at what’s new. Lucky took a bath, checked out the fence, ate some grass, and roamed around. Holly and Tasha were together and okay. The woodchuck mother probably wondered where her privacy went with bears all around.

Moni got the pictures for us. Thank you, Moni.

And thank you all for what you do.

  Lifeguard ...  22:55    102°  (1:27 pm)   Mostly Cloudy, slight breeze.  Praying for rain.

It's hard to believe that Joho's time up in Ely has passed so quickly.  I'm pretty sure he will tell us he's had a great time.

Hi Cal ...   Wow!  You went to all the good concerts.  I love Fleetwood Mack!  I wish I had made that happen for me.  I am so glad that my daughter, Susan and her husband still go to concerts.  My youngest brother, Heston, was the concert goer in our family. 

Maybe being inside with you and their mom will help the kittens to calm down.
Yesterday, my daughter, Josette's cat died, she was almost 20 years old.  Josette rescued her and her kittens, she was so young and tiny, almost like a half grown kitten having kittens,  She was out in the cold.  Her name was Maya, and she was all black.
