Honey was sitting up in her wooden window den but ignored us as we approached to work close to her window rearranging exhibits in the Bear Center itself.
In the Northwoods Ecology Hall, Peter and Ryan placed 9 more taxidermied animals in their approximate places, including an eastern chipmunk, raccoon, porcupine, striped skunk, white-tailed fawn, muskrat, and coyote. Not pictured are a big beaver and an otter. Lily Fans who bought and donated these items know who they are. Thank you. The mural by Maureen O’Brien and Peter Johnson fits in perfectly. Maureen is back painting again this evening and should finish it up this weekend so Peter and Ryan can extend their habitat work to the right half of the exhibit. It’s exciting to see the daily progress. Today was a big jump with so many animals being placed on the moraine, on the beaver dam, and around what will soon be the beaver stream. Such detail. These are spring scenes in early succession (young) forest. The right half of the exhibit transitions into fall and winter in more mature forest that includes some big white pines.
Thank you for all you do.
