6:10 if I understood correctly , eiguoc, they removed the branch that the bear dragged there, and was chewing on earlier??? because it was in their way???

i have the cam on now and cub just stopped the 'motoring ' sounds and seems to be nursing, quietly.

i hear no human voices, just crows

Right now I hear 'motoring' sounds. Sounds like a car thats refusing to start.!!
(first time I heard that )

12:45 new to me, 'barking sounds' from the cub......learning new vocabulary no doubt

Turned on first thing in morning & got a chuckle

Hope is beginning to get a wide range of sounds
USEEWILDlife gave me permission to post pics of Lily & Hope but not promote the site. Also giving information on cubs growing up

too funny!

they seem to be anticipating when the bears are out of the den, and letting viewers know some of their plans for the future......hoping they will have cams for a den next year.

Life after the den cam

Thinking about life after the den cam. After Lily and Hope exit, we’ll change the link on bear.org from ‘Lily Den Cam’ to ‘Lily News & Photos.’ We’ll do our best to post updates and new photos of Lily and Hope to both www.bear.org and Lily’s Facebook page throughout the spring and summer.

It won’t end there. This whole experience with the den cam and you was such a pleasure and was so valuable to our research and educational mission that we’ll do everything possible to have a den cam in Lily and Hope’s den this coming winter. We will also do everything possible to have a second den cam in the den of a mother that will give birth. This could be June, her cousin Dot, her cousin Donna, or any of several other bears.

Next time around we will be better prepared. We had no idea the extent to which you would share our interest in the hidden world of bears.

We’ve noticed your recent interest in the NABC webcam now that Ted, Honey, and Lucky are roaming. We’re exploring whether it’s affordable to make it a streaming video cam. Stay tuned.

We wanted to create memorabilia of Lily and Hope but ran into delays that made us fear we’d lose much of the audience before it would be available. For mugs and t-shirts and art prints of Lily and Hope, we commissioned a top artist, a winner of the duck stamp competition, to do a painting of Lily and Hope touching noses. But the artist was delayed, and now it’s getting late. Lily and Hope could exit in 2-3 weeks in this weather. We also considered a picture book of Lily growing up, using her experiences to write captions about how black bears live, but getting it published before the family emerges would be difficult. We learned a lot this year and will do better next
<edit >
We’re looking forward to seeing a lot more of Hope as she becomes more mobile and playful in the next 2-3 weeks. In the absence of siblings to tussle with, we suspect she will play with Lily’s face. We’re looking forward to many behaviors we want to know more about and will discuss as they happen. The best viewing is ahead of us.

I started keeping an eye out on the other cam too that they have,refresh every 30 min. It would be great if it did go live streaming

I checked on Lily a bit ago and she was busy licking the camera and mic

I finally got a s'cap when she turned her head, otherwise all I was seeing was her tongue and nose
