Aster, Lily, Jewel, and Ursula – UPDATE February 16, 2014. Winter in the Northwoods Finally, word on the bears we have all spent so much time with.
Jim Stroner and Lorie Kennedy spent the day trudging to the three dens in snow that was mid-thigh depth even for 6 foot 2 inch tall Jim Stroner—and that’s wearing snowshoes. Every step is a struggle under those conditions. The winter has been too cold for the snow to form a crust, so snowshoes are at best a marginal help. Aster's denFirst stop was Aster. We wondered if she could produce cubs while her body was healing a bullet wound to her left tricep? Lily's denOn to Lily and her cubs (now yearlings) Eli and Ellie in the deep rock den where we all watched Lily and Faith two years ago. Lorie's snow showerThey replaced the SD card in the Trail Cam that has been watching over their den these last three months (since November 5). Wolf at Lily's denThe other big question was if animals came to visit the den with bears in it like they did last year when the den was empty.
Thank you for all you do. Spirit Bear Cub Back Scratch. Spirit Bear Cub Back Scratch. Animal Minds – UPDATE February 12, 2014. Juliet One of the most intriguing aspects of our research is getting insight into animal minds.
That’s where long-term research shines. As we follow bears and remember how they have used certain locations in the past, we marvel at their memories and knowledge of their territories. But we wonder how much of travel is planned and how much is a whim. Obviously, Lily knew what she was doing when she decided to re-use the deep rock den this fall and led her cubs directly to it. Obviously, Aster knew what she was doing when she realized she couldn’t dig a new den with the wounded leg and went directly to her den of last year. Juliet and cubWe are always interested in the intelligence of other wildlife. This new link to problem-solving activities of a crow is also amazing Even if a person trained the crow to do each step of its routine, it is still amazing that a crow could learn such a complicated task.

Tom Sears says: Black bears typically have two cubs; rarely, one or three. In 2007, in northern New Hampshire , a black bear sow gave birth to five healthy young. There were two or three reports of sows with as many as 4 cubs, but five was, and is, very extraordinary.
Diversionary Feeding. Although controversial, supplemental, diversionary or intercept feeding can be successfully used to discourage problem bear behaviour, as well as to prevent bears from debarking trees (Ziegltrum 2004, 2008) or preying on livestock.
In Slovenia, bear damage in diversionary feeding areas was only a third that in non-feeding areas (Klenzendorf 1997). One of the biggest reasons for increased bear activity in residential areas is a seasonal shortage of natural foods in the nearby woods. Establishing select feeding sites can be effective in these situations, but it's important to have a defined goal, a specific plan and a limited feeding program. Ben Kilham (author of Among the Bears) suggests using the same food the bears are feeding on in someone's backyard, only delivered to them deep in the woods in good cover. Given a choice, bears will always take food at a more secure location. Ben Kilham, black bear rehabilitator, realized early on that it's all about food. Den Cam Progress – UPDATE January 14, 2014. Major progress was made today on a technical issue with the den cams.
Both Holly’s cam and Juliet’s cam have been intermittent—severely testing the patience of viewers and Den Watchers. Today, the Technical Team came up with a solution that seems to be working. Fingers are crossed, but both video feeds look great so far. With Juliet due to give birth within a week, we are grateful for dedicated technicians.
Juliet has been mostly sleeping soundly for the past couple days. Educators interesting in utilizing footage from Juliet’s Den Cam are encouraged to fill out the form at We do not yet know what method we will be able to deliver the footage in, but having a list of interested educators will be helpful. What is a Bear Moon? HOPE - Her story - April 19, 2013 - Lily the Black Bear with Ellie and Eli - Beary-Go-Round. Information From Near and Far – UPDATE January 27, 2014. Juliet backing out of bed - Jan 23 When we heard Lily, Jewel, and now Juliet licking the remainder of the amniotic sac from each newborn cub, we couldn’t see what was happening.
A BBC video clip on YouTube shows a captive polar bear doing exactly that Nice to see. Another thing we have wondered about is what is happening when the Den Cam bears back out of their beds and appear to be eliminating wastes. We know the usual statement that bears don’t urinate or defecate for months at a time. We have all seen the bears back into what appear to be latrine areas and eliminate, though. Lake Tahoe bears hibernate under houses during winter. You might call it a reverse Goldilocks story, but this is not a fairy tale.
Every year bears hibernate under houses all around Lake Tahoe. The bears actually pose very little threat, if they are handled correctly, according to Ann Bryant, executive director of the Bear League. Bryant guesses there are "upwards of 100 bears every winter under homes and cabins in Tahoe. " The Bear League is a non-profit group that helps bears and people learn to co-exist. The more we encroach on bear territory, the more Bryant believes we have to learn how to share habitat. Residents are urged to close up access to any part of their homes, but many do not.

Bear watching more profitable than bear hunting, says study - British Columbia. There is more money in looking at bears than there is in shooting them — 12 times more to be exact, according to a new study.
The study conducted by the Centre for Responsible Tourism, a research institute at Stanford University in Washington, D.C., and funded by the conservation organization Tides Canada, concluded that bear-related ecotourism is exponentially more profitable than trophy hunting. "We found that the bear viewing is generating 12 times more in visitor spending than is bear hunting, and over 11 times more in direct revenue for the B.C. province," said lead researcher Martha Honey. Ecotourism, including bear viewing, has grown rapidly over the past decade on B.C.'s Central Coast, said Honey. People from around the world come to the Great Bear Rainforest in the hopes of seeing black, grizzly and kermode bears in their natural habitat.
The report concluded trophy hunting, on the other hand, is on the decline, said Honey. Sue Mansfield's Bear Observations. HOPE - Her story - A Lucy afternoon... The Fall of June. Cub Vocalizations - Mother Responses.

View of the pond and edge of the forest, 9/13 Ted, Honey, Lucky and Holly live in 2.5 acres of natural forest that includes man-made dens and a pond.
Lucky carrying a watermelon to his secret stash up in the woods! They roam the forest and play in the cool pond. Honey likes to sleep in shaded daybeds in the forest. Lucky hides toys and food in secret caches on the forest floor. Visitors and Pond Chatters watch the bears forage for wild hazelnuts, berries, and greens, and for foods the caretakers scatter and hide around the pond at the forest edge. Foods provided by caretakers include nuts, grapes, carrots, romaine lettuce, raw eggs, canned tuna fish, peanut butter, and a variety of fruits and berries.
Visitors also watch the bears coexist nicely with wild mammals and birds that visit the enclosure. Pictured are some of the wild mammals and birds that share the enclosure. Watch the Pond Cam to see the bears and other wildlife in action. Holly’s Debut – UPDATE May 30, 2014. Holly hesitates When the door between Holly’s pen and the big enclosure opened, Holly hesitated for several minutes.
Then at 9:55 AM, she stepped out. Heidi and Sharon offered her treats and a bottle of formula to lead her down to the viewing area where some people were waiting on the balcony and others were watching remotely via the Pond Cam. But Holly had a lot to do before thinking about food. She must have sniffed every branch, tree trunk, and spot that Ted, Lucky, or Honey might have touched. Black Bear Family Tours Anchorage, Alaska. Difficult Decision – UPDATE June 29, 2014. Aster We have removed radio-collars from the research bears.
Mike, Lynn, Lorie, Suephoto by Jim StronerThis was not a decision we came to easily. The DNR restrictions during the last two years—coupled with the loss of key research bears—have severely limited our ability to collect scientific data. The restrictions came when a combination of new technology and long data histories on key bears were providing data never before possible. Through den cams, GPS technology, videos, and daily updates, we enabled the public and professionals to learn along with us. North American Bear Center - Ted's Chalet Cam - Live.

Lynn Rogers, says a colleague, sees the forest through black bear-colored glasses 04-01-1992 // Adele Conover To a wild black bear like Terri, waking up next to U.S. Forest Service biologist Lynn Rogers in the vastness of the Great North Woods is no big deal.
Four Good Things in a Row - UPDATE November 11, 2014. Faith - 08/09/11It started last night with the latest bear visit we’ve ever had here. I could see out the window that it was an adolescent male, probably 2 or 3 years old—probably the same bear that visited another feeding station the night before. That landowner said the bear was very skittish and fled just from seeing a person moving in the window. I know some bears are extra skittish as they get close to hibernation, and this one may have already been in a den and got scared out.
He hadn’t seen me in the window because his head was behind a tree, probably concentrating on noises from the 5 deer 30-40 yards away. I quietly went out the door to see how he’d react to me as a start toward identifying him. Lily the Black Bear - Autumn 2009The next bright spot was hearing from my old friend former State Senator Satveer Chaudhary, former chair of the Senate Environment and Natural Resources Committee. Thank you for all you do. All photos taken today unless otherwise noted. Flashback to June, Lily, and Bud - UPDATE December 7, 2014. Cute little Bud - May 8, 2007We have seen little evidence that mothers teach their cubs what to eat. We have seen cubs smell their mothers’ mouths. We’ve seen them do mutual tongue-licking. And we’ve seen mothers lead their cubs to feeding areas. But mostly, the cubs forage independently—often on foods different from what the mother is eating.

Holly with the red ballHolly found her big red ball and carried it to her big white pine refuge tree where she earlier stashed a food bowl. That’s her favorite area. Today, she had fun playing with Lucky going round and round the cedar tree by the viewing windows. With her size, she is at a disadvantage in rough play, and going around a tree equalizes things a bit. When there is action, like Ted following Honey today, Holly’s white pine gives a good vantage point to climb and watch. A year ago, we wanted a yearling her size for her to play with, but she is adapting well to Lucky and Ted and getting plenty of mental stimulation.
