Lily and cubs in den
This afternoon, Mike and Lorie found Lily and her two sons, Carex and Coverly, and her daughter Calla in a den. Their tracks leading to it were fresh. We’ll see if there are any more sightings of her out and about or if they are calling it a year. 
Lily and family tracksIt is a good feeling that she has survived another year at 15 after the intense effort by some to destroy her and her following. Lily did not cooperate. She just went about her quiet life, mostly out of sight, and is still around to unknowingly add knowledge and excitement to our lives.
Thank you for all you do,
