Two good pieces of news today. Verizon will work with us again on the wild den cams, and Bill and Shirley Rice called to say they are buying all the necessary equipment to make the den cams a success. What can we say but “Thank you.” Bill is part of the den cam technology team. He personally made some of the equipment for last year’s den cam. This year he and Shirley are away and they’re helping with the cameras and equipment in this way. Everyone is doing all they can to get things going. Still waiting to hear if it’s possible to install a den cam at Juliet’s den.
Honey and Lucky are still together. Honey took a short stroll for a drink and small snack at 11:45 AM, giving Lucky a chance to steal some of her bedding. She wasn’t happy about it when she returned (jaw-clacking was heard), but she peacefully raked in more for herself from outside. Jaw clacking means a bear is scared and feeling high tension. It might be that she wanted to rake the bedding back from Lucky but didn’t dare. Ted didn’t stir today.
