Kinderchick:
Oh, thank you, thank you, for this info, TPC! :-* As you may have noticed ( ;)), I am very interested in these bears and have heard about this documentary, so I will be sure to watch it! :D

The Peregrine Chick:
For those of you who want to know more about the bears in Minnesota there is a show currently running on Animal Planet.  It's the Mutual of Omaha production titled "Bearwalker of the Northwoods" and is about Lynn Rogers the bear biologist who runs the Minnesota black bear research program of whic Lucky, Honey, June, Lily, Hope, Faith (the three Amigos, big Harry, etc) are a part of.

Animal Planet - Bearwalker of the Northwoods
   Thursday (5th) = 8am, 2pm
   Friday (6th) = 5am, 9am
   Saturday (7th) = 7am

Its an amazing show that focuses on June and her sister Juliet and their cubs from 2007 (if I remember correctly) through 2009.  Juliet's cub Dave (the only one of three to survive in 2008) as well as June's 2007 triplets one of whom was/is Lily.  And yes, it talks about the issue of hunting near the research area.  Lynn rewrote bear legislation when he worked in govt a couple of decades ago and was instrumental in reducing the bear season from year-round to just six weeks in the fall.  

If you get a chance to watch the show, do.  If you have a VCR or a PVR, do record it, it is worth the hour to watch it!!

Kinderchick:
Faith has been making a lot of vocalizations in the den this year, which has surprised the researchers at the NABC. This is the 1st time they have observed a non-pregnant mother with a cub of Faith's age, so there is much new learning to be had. :)

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, KC!  I've now got it bookmarked for winter viewing! ;D
