Sunrise over Lake of the Woods - 10/20/15It was a quick trip to Winnipeg and back to give the Den Cam presentation that I will soon turn into a YouTube video for everyone.
Afterward, we stopped by the Winnipeg Zoo and started back home. The next morning, the sunrise over Lake of the Woods gave a pretty start across the prairie to our home in the forest study area. 
Juvenile eagle - 10/19/15It was different to see miles down the straight level roads, unlike the hilly, curvy roads in the glacial terrain we are used to. A short way down the road, 11 bald eagles and some ravens were gathered around a road-killed deer. Back in our home county, we saw a beaver lodge we stopped to photograph in case it would be useful in the Northwoods Ecology Hall.
Three things were encouraging the last few days. (1) The enthusiastic reception of our Den Cam presentation. (2) Learning that truth is winning in the end as biologists begin to question misconceptions that have persisted too long about bears.
Thank you for all you do.
