Boy Scouts and Bears - UPDATE August 2, 2015

UrsulaUrsulaAt the Bear Center, we were glad to see a big troop of boy scouts among the visitors. They were there for a special program in addition to seeing the bears and exhibits.

In the study area, community feeders called in sightings for Black Bear Field Course participants to come see. Sightings included Donna and her 4 extra cute little cubs watchfully coming Ursula's cubsUrsula's cubsdown a pine and interacting with Donna, Lily and her 3 cubs, Ursula and her 3 cubs, One-eyed Jack (always a privilege), Whacky, Big Harry, RC’s female yearling (treed by Lily), Jewel and Drew.

Thank you for all you do.
