Black Bears - Minnesota / Lily
Kinderchick:
According to the NABC daily update, Lily is now in a den, as of September 10th. Her GPS radio signal led the biologists, Lynn Rogers & Sue Mansfield, to a huge brush pile in the woods and she was deep inside, coming out only long enough to have the batteries changed in her GPS unit. There is no webcam set up, as of yet, as this is a different den from last year. Faith is no longer with Lily. She is on her own now and appears to be doing quite well, having developed some friendships with a few other black bears. They can be seen feeding and playing together, from time to time. :)
Kinderchick:
According to the daily update on the website , Lily was quite restless and agitated last evening. Sue Mansfield, one of the NABC biologists, who is also an excellent tracker, went into sleuth mode this morning and found wolf tracks all over the place, not too far from Lily's den. However, it is believed that they were not checking out Lily's den, but rather some deer, since deer tracks were also located near by.
Kinderchick:
Lily & Faith's den cam has been back up now since January 25th, after having been down for a few weeks. Faith continues to plead with Lily to nurse her, as is evident with the deafening sound of her cries, at times. :o
Kinderchick:
According to the NABC website, Lily's den cam is down for a few days due to a problem with the solar panels not charging the batteries. Further to that, a vital component of the den cam equipment failed so they are awaiting a replacement.
Kinderchick:
I watched this documentary this afternoon, upon returning from doing a few errands. My husband had taped it for me. It was wonderful and as you said, TPC, well worth it! :D After following these bears and Dr. Lynn Roger's research for the past few years, it was very exciting to actually see where his research takes place and the vast expanse of the territory that he and his research partner, biologist Sue Mansfield work in and "walk with the bears".
