Today's report on Hurricane Maya........

She found a thread on a carpet I got for under her crate in the kitchen, pulled the thread and we now
have a corduroy carpet. :D

She won't walk under my feet again in the laundry room, I stepped on her foot, poor baby, but she was okay.

It started to pour so I took her out on the front terrace, "What is all this water she said" but proceeded to go
under the table and did her peepee, very brave munchkin. :)^

She got tired of watching the tennis so fell asleep on my lap. :Zz:

She is now waiting in the kitchen for Daddy Alan to come home, she loves him. <3

All is well in Puppyland :wub:

Jillers, My last visit to Israel I got lost walking and pushing the baby carriage
and ended up in a Palestinian neighborhood. Oh Chit! :8O:

I told DIL and she said they are the good Palestinian people.

Not all Palestinians are like Hamas.

Israeli Palestinians just want to work and go home to their families like we do.

But Hamas is another story. :(

Jillers & Penny, thanks for the great links today, the Yosemite one in particular was really interesting.

Not sure about the Hamas, a lot of cut & pasting in the video which can mean that something may have been taken out of context. I do not support Hamas or any group that underwrites violence, so if this is the case, why is George allowed in the USofA? I wonder if he could get an Aussie visa (we've barred a couple of Imans already!)

I love the Maya stories, keep em coming!

I went with Rachel to day to renew both her Oz and US passports. I paid for them but told her NEXT TIME you have to pay for them yourself! Of course they are valid for 10 years! rofl She'll be 30y/o!

Karen said to say THANK YOU for the bday wishes. <3

Lily the Black Bear - Update September 2, 2010 - 8:41 PM CDT

Some bears are slowing down


Posted Image

The second day of hunting is over and our radio-collared bears are fine. We learned that one bear was registered today (none yesterday) at the nearest check-in station 8 miles from the field station. We do not have any additional information so we don't know if it was taken from the study area or not. We've seen no evidence of baiting or hunting yet within the study area. Hunters that we have heard will arrive this weekend have agreed to spare radio-collared bears.

June is showing more pre-denning behavior. After her active day yesterday - despite a heart rate of only 62 - she spent today in one spot near a lake. In the past, bears that were almost ready to den have spent a few days near water - drinking but not eating. A physiologist surmised that they drank to purge their bodies of waste products after they stopped eating. Other bears have shown different pre-denning behavior.

Two years ago, when June was also pregnant, she moved several miles toward a den on the night of September 1. She was in that den when we checked midday on September 6. We hope she doesn't den where she is now. The area is safe from hunters, but is far from roads and it would be a nightmare maintaining a den cam there.

Lily and Hope in their pre-ribbon days!

Lily and Hope also spent the day bedded. Ironically, their bed was near a traditional hunter bait site. The bait site is not being used so far this season, though.

2-year-old Jo is still active and has a heart rate of 70 - which is slow for her. We'll see how soon she becomes less active.

Braveheart had a low heart rate this morning (62) before moving a mile and a half to an area where she denned in 2007. We connected with her today to put a fresh set of batteries in her GPS so hopefully we can easily tell when she reaches a den site.

These GPS units have changed the way we do research, the way we teach our Black Bear Field Study Courses, and the way we work to protect the bears during hunting season. We wonder how we ever managed without them!

The current fundraising for the Wildlife Research Institute being done by Lily's fans will directly support the research by helping purchase research equipment to improve our tracking technology. Leave it to Lily's fans to come up with fun and creative ways to raise money!

Corelyn, coordinator of the Education Outreach, is looking for people interested in working on lesson plans in relation to the den cam that use the themes of character traits, empathy, problem solving, decision making, bullying, etc. These lesson plans could be used in classrooms, counseling, shelters and with kids at risk. There is a great need for such plans and we would like to create a group to work on them. If you have used the den cam in this way, hope to, or just have ideas, please email Corelyn at: catspjs@tidewater.net

The staff at the Bear Center loved the 'bear track' cookies. The bears loved the nuts you sent from Nuts Online. They also loved the fresh-picked hazelnuts that a group of you picked and delivered from Wisconsin a week ago.

Many thanks for the voting effort for Ely's schools in the Kohls Cares contest. You have moved them up to 51st and 54th places for an excellent showing with voting ending tomorrow. It shows again how much you support the bear study and radio-collared bears like Lily and Hope. Thank you.

On top of that, your donations to the Bear Center broke another thousand to reach $378,007 today. Amazing!

Thank you for all you do.

~Lynn Rogers and Sue Mansfield, Biologists, Wildlife Research Institute and North American Bear Center
