carole morning edition rofl :><: that's cool thank you ....

hi all getting ready to pack up - heading over to get DD and then off to the north of ohio for a couple of days

we visited my mother who is doing very very well at her new setting - my sister's visits are causing huge problems so I'm guessing it won't be long and she'll be banned from visits or they will have to be supervised - her visits upset my mom for several days and the aides can hardly deal with my mom then :(

our visit was great- we walked - talked - she knew us - she repeated a lot but we just go with the flow - she seems to be quite settled and a lot more active than when I last saw her :><:

anyway - time to shut down and get moving
will check back later :}^

Deb - Good to hear that your Mom has settled into her new place well. Too bad that your sister is upsetting the apple cart but I'm sure the residence will take care of that soon. :X:

Continue enjoying your holiday and safe travels. :Hugs:

Hi everybody. I was working on my presentation yesterday and never did get on here. I did see Dad eagle and then the mom return to Harmon's nest and feed him. <3

Carole, your presentation with the bright, tropical colours is so cheerful. The colours suit the message as Cruzers really do enjoy visiting with one another. :ok: I enjoyed seeing the picnic party photos.

Deb, that is terrific news that your mother is settled into a really nice facility. That would be a huge relief. Enjoy the rest of your vacation!

It's a nice day here. I should get outside but I have a presentation to finish, too. Even though it is early to put flowers out, I have my hanging baskets up. We'll just keep an eye on the weather and protect them if need be.

Lily the Black Bear – UPDATE May 8, 2012

Scrambling


Posted Image :clk:
Aspen, Aster, and June - May 8, 2012

Today we scrambled to change batteries on 4 GPS units—Braveheart, Juliet, Jo, and June. We’ve come to rely on the detailed location data we get from the GPS units. Not only does it let us know where the bears are, but we have learned to interpret some behaviors from the data as well. It was Lily’s odd pattern of GPS locations that alerted us yesterday and prompted us to check to see if Faith’s radio-signal was still in the same direction as Lily’s. As you know, it was not.

Sue did her best to catch up to Lily to change her GPS batteries and then to stay with Lily to document her behaviors. It is nearly impossible to keep a bear in sight if they’re not stopping to forage—and Lily was only stopping briefly to check scents. When Lily descended a steep moss-covered rock face, Sue lost all hope of catching up and said “Thank you, bear!” Lily’s travels last night took her back to the same area where she had split from Faith. We wondered if they had gotten back together. An early morning check found them still apart and it is unlikely they will get back together now. Today, there was no hope of walking with Lily. She circumnavigated

Jim Stroner spent time with Lily and Faith on Saturday and took some video of their interactions. We have posted the video on YouTube.

Just now, we watched on our computer screen as Lily made a sudden about-face in June’s territory just as June made a quick move in Lily’s direction. We wonder if contact was made. Lily has been pushing into June’s territory for 2 years now—even denning there this past winter.

Victoria licks her injured paw - May 8, 2012

Braveheart’s family was still together this morning when we changed her GPS batteries. Jo was on the move, but we found Victoria still with her as well. We noticed Victoria has a cut between the inner 2 toes on her right front foot. She seems to be caring for it well and not limping.

Then it was a long trek deep into Bear Head State Park to locate June to change her GPS batteries. Aster and Aspen are still with her. We stayed long enough to see June groom each yearling in turn and watch Aspen groom June. We left them all sleeping peacefully at the base of a white pine.

With fresh batteries in the GPS units of Braveheart, Jo, and June, we are in good shape to monitor their movements and catch signs of family breakup. Of the 3, only June has a collared offspring so we will need to connect with Jo and Braveheart to confirm family breakups.

Long day. Some days it’s hard to keep up with everything.
Dates and times for the BBC Planet Earth Live and Nat Geo Wild 24/7 Wild shows are posted here.

Thank you for all you do.
