Lily BearEverything worked together for great viewing of Lily and her cubs today. Lily faced the camera, removed the wall of woodchips, ate snow, dug out bedding, raked in bedding, etc. We got the best views of the cubs so far this year. We strained to catch a glint of reflection from their eyes but didn’t. Any day now.
There was so much good activity in Lily’s den that we have 2 videos tonight, part 1 of 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADPqgeWcQyM and part 2 of 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgeJ-O_kdyY.
Cub's eyes are SO close to opening!
Bookend cubs!Early Wednesday, Lynn and Donna Rogers leave for a brief vacation in Louisiana. We’ll take a break from nightly updates while they’re gone. Lynn should be back at work next Monday with stories to tell.
Thank you once again for your generous contributions to the ‘Valentines for the Hope Learning Center’ fund drive.
Thank you for all you do.
