Red maple leafAs Tasha excavates away, a person wonders what kind of den she is trying to make. At this point, it’s looking like a nice deep bed spot to fill with leaves for more insulation than in the past. Sharon placed a big pile of leaves outside the den for Tasha to use when she is ready. Here "Taught" caught Tasha in a 3-minute daytime video and a 5-minute view of her at night. Nice to see!

At the WRI, the red maple tree that was just beginning to drop leaves when this picture was taken on October 10 now is down to five leaves.
Thank you for all you do.
