Precious Hope - May 10, 2010

Stratton - Braveheart's cubLily and her cubs may be giving up ownership of the den they have been visiting. The trail cam showed that she and the cubs sniffed the entrance, found Ember in it, and walked on three times (Sept 14 at 9:08 AM and 12:18 PM and on Sept 15 at 1:36 AM). But Ember comes and goes.
