Finally, RC’s yearlings let me take the beginning of some ID pictures.
RC's yearling male Casey
Chloe is the middle-sized yearling with a two-piece white bow on her chest and brown hairs on her chin and throat. We still need a better picture of her eyebrow patches.
Casey is the biggest yearling with the one-piece bow on his chest. We want to catch him at other angles to see if he has brown hairs on his chin and throat like Chloe does.
Carter is the smallest yearling with no white on his chest. We need other angles to see more about his chin and throat.
We’ll probably see these yearlings during the Black Bear Field Courses.
