I am ok Neva. Debbie will come over soon for dinner.  I hope Cal is ok too. I miss her, and her updates and puzzles and dog shames. 
GBU my friends and GB Ukraine and now Israel too.  God Please help us to learn to get along.  There is too much suffering in the Earth.

Debbie just left.  What a good daughter. We had an excellent dinner.  She ate a lot, and said it was all good.  We reviewed all the elections, and how to vote.  We will go to early voting on the 17th at 4:30.
She showed me a video of Aunt Shannon and Odin putting eggs into a big steel mixing bowl.  Odin had a little trouble cracking his egg, but finally hit it on the edge hard enough to crack open, and dump into the bowl.  He was obviously gagging while the egg dripped slowly out of the shell into the bowl.  Then as he was leaning over the bowl to be sure no shells went in,  all of a sudden Aunty Shannon cracked an egg on his forehead.
  He was shocked!  He was stunned!  Then he burst out with the loudest laugh I ever heard from him.  It was hilarious.  He is just too cute I tells you.
Where you at Cal.  Hope you are OK.  I am.
Good night Neva.  You too phantom Cal. GBU

5:11 on curves.  Good morning EV1. Another nice morning here by the South Shore.  53 at 10:17.  Got up late, because I was not able to sleep until very late.  Not sure why.  Just wide awake for several hours. Was weird.  I was sleepy when I laid down at about 1am, but then was wide awake for at least two hours.  Oh well I am fine now, and glad to be with you all.
I have seen more bear action in the last two days than I have seen since they started the reconstruction last Spring.
  I have yet to see any activity around the bat cam.  I am very curious what kind of action we may expect.  I think the bats are hibernators, because there is no food for them in cold weather.  I don't know how they can keep from freezing.  Maybe their blood changes to alcohol like some insects.  Or maybe they take turns being on the outer layer until cold.  Then diving into the pile for warmth.  like the bees.  Anyway, I think those bat houses are much bigger than they appear on the cam.  Some near me are at least 5 or 6 feet high and two feet thick.  There are, I think, a lot of bats in them.
OK now I will catch up on my cam review and let you all get back to your dailies.

Joho     I love bats too.  We have a bridge and some caves that are full of Mexican Bats, and they fly out like that, making quite a show.

Bears Have Feelings - UPDATE October 13, 2023

Red fox
Here at the WRI, a visit from nice, calm, 5-year-old Adam was a joy this evening after dark. He is the son of Vanna (Shadow, Blackheart, Dot, Vanna, Adam).

But the most engaging interactions through the day have been at the Bear Center where Lucky and Holly showed their feelings for each other by sharing a den. ‘Eyes of the Night’ spotted them just after midnight this morning and spied on them as they were lying outside Den One. Might they den together? Holly did some raking while Lucky rested nearby. Holly entered the den at 12:30 AM and lied down facing out. Lucky walked back and forth outside, making ‘Eyes’ wonder what he was going to do. Then, at 12:37 AM, Lucky slowly walked to the den, turned around, began raking, and slowly backed into it on the left side as you look at it. Holly moved over a little to make room for him, and ‘Eyes’ could see their eye shine as they rested snuggled together.

This morning with Holly and Lucky still in the den, I drove there for a look, not thinking to bring a camera. Darn. There they were, with their heads near the entrance facing each other with the tips of their noses maybe four inches apart. They looked very content to be with each other. Both raised their heads briefly when they heard Scott and me but immediately went back to how they were.

It made me wonder how much they care for each other, wanting to be together now after all these years as they seem to be calling 2023 a year. The gate to their enclosure has been open a lot so that they could decide for themselves whether or not to den together. Seeing them looking so comfortable as close as they were, I believe they have made that decision. We’ll see what happens over the next few days.

Tasha, in Den Three, responded the same with a quick look and back to oblivion.

Here at the WRI, a blue jay provided color by day and the red fox provided excitement after dark as he posed chewing and then looking eye to eye. Thank you, fox.
