GOOD MORNING ALL FROM LITTLE HOPE!
She was caught on camera yesterday about a mile and a half from her 'feeding station bear-formula' tree, turning over and ripping apart logs to find wild and savory ant larvae and pupae----a skill she has learned all on her own. This picture shows her back in the safety of her feeding tree, just kicking back and playing with her feet, watching Sue, her researcher who is trying to get a teensy little tracking collar on her. She continues to teach us all every day what abandoned baby bears can do do their own. As Tmetravlr has in his signature quote, "Life is tough, and even toughter if you're stupid" or something like that! This little cub is far from stupid, and is proving it with each day of her life.
It's not as cold outside today, but just as wet and dark. It rained again most of the night. Blueberries will be plumping up!
My son called last night, so I missed the chatroom. They have locked in a 5.0% interest rate with a bank for a fixed, 30-year mortgage for their property. I am so excited for them! The closing won't be until sometime in the middle of July...a long drawn-out process as usual. They should be new home owners by the time they get up here in early August for a wedding they are both in. Another reason to celebrate during the Ruckus in the Mountains for 2010!
I have another mouse in my live-trap this morning---NOT the raggedy eared one again! Off I go for coffee and to get dressed. Stop by and share your day with us all! Later.......
