Good Afternoon, Love the Whooper! Coming in. Such beautiful birds. :)^ I've had a busy day, running errands and just baked my husband some chocolate chip cookies. The house smells heavenly. Poor guy had to work today. He went by the CHP accident where two officers were killed about 15 minutes after it happened. A true heartbreaker. My nephew is a CHP officer, and worked with both of them. So sad.

Making Spaghetti and Meatballs tonight with Garlic Bread and a huge salad. Wishing you all a beautiful day. :Hugs:

Lily the Black Bear – UPDATE February 17, 2014

Juliet, Ted, Lucky, Honey, and Holly

Juliet covered with snow

A big blowing snowstorm today changed the look of Juliet as she hunkered down over her cubs. Snow coated her fur. The temperature got up to 19°F (-7°C), which is just above the temperature at which snow was predicted to melt on a bear (17°F, -8°C). See Radiant surface temperatures and hair depths of a black bear .pdf Ursus americanus for more.

Holly's den

When we visited Juliet this fall, we remarked about how thick her coat was, so now it is nice to see that her extra thick coat is retaining body heat extra well this cold winter. It will be interesting to see how warm ambient temperatures must be for snow to melt on her fur this year.

Lucky's den

Holly, Lucky, and Ted are hard to see just now. Of course, Holly is buried in her straw as usual. Lucky not only has his pile of snow in front of his door, but now has more above his door. Ted has a good pile in front of his den, too.

Ted's den

We wondered just how deep the snow was on the level (not drifted) today, and the staff determined it varied from 27 to 32 inches. Honey must have wondered, too, because she lifted her head when the measurers came near her den. She looks good.

Thank you for all you do.
