Last evening, Holly was roaming the enclosure. Honey was resting in her window den. Honey was not accepting visitors as a Lily Fan captured 
Luckyat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yb8d20VNi1w . Holly was about to cross the stream and go past Honey’s den. Honey wouldn't have it. She came partway out the entrance, blew, and slapped the ground. Holly fled but returned. Honey said something unfriendly that I can’t repeat. Holly fled but returned again. This time Honey came most of the way out and clacked her jaws, which is a sign of fear. We don’t know how Honey could be afraid of little Holly, but she was very defensive toward her. It’s all part of the different bear personalities.
Today, with the temperature reaching 76°F, Lucky went for another swim. This time the ice was all melted as is shown at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YEjyexkwv4&feature=youtu.be.
Eastern chipmunkInside the Bear Center, everything is spic and span and beautiful. The comments about it from visitors are terrific. Way to go staff and volunteers.
At the WRI, volunteers put a new tarp on the garage as a temporary roof. Thank you so much.
Out the window, grass is growing. Eight deer are eating it. Many new birds are back. Some are eating sunflower seed hearts scattered on the ground. Eastern chipmunks are taking their share, stuffing their cheeks and then their burrows.
Thank you for all you do.
