Honey out for a walkHoney ventured out on this day of temperatures above zero (F). Aside from walking around in her pen, she ate snow as the video shows https://www.facebook.com/ toni.embree.50/videos/ 1171672802865348.
A topic of conversation today was the web cams at the Bear Center. When the bears emerge in spring, we plan to drill holes in the Chalets for mounting cameras that will show the bears’ every move when they are in them. The Chalets are favorite resting spots in summer and favorite denning sites in winter. For now, we have external web cams overlooking the Chalets, which we were glad to have when Honey came out briefly today. We’d like to have web cams outside and inside the Chalets and wherever the bears choose to den, but the number of cams are currently limited by bandwidth. When fiber optics cable reaches the Bear Center, we will have more bandwidth available. We can then expand the number of web cams and make the Distance Learning Classroom in the Hope Learning Center operational. Thank you for helping to make possible what we have today. We look forward to improvements when they become available.
Thank you for all you do.
