 Resting in a white pine |
 RC guarding the base while cubs rest |
What do bears do when there is little food in the forest? At this time of year, resting is in order. Roaming starts with green-up and the emergence of favorite greens on the forest floor. Around here, the major green, considering abundance, is big-leafed aster in its earliest, fuzzy, curled stage. But they’re not up yet, so for today, RC’s yearlings rested in the safe, shady upper branches of a big white pine with RC guarding the base.
Thank you for all you do.
