Up high and Bears

Shyla and I are up in the alpine zone today. This photo is from last year, on one of her first trips up high.
While we are up there, I thought that you might enjoy some footage of our mother bear, Mabel, and her single cub, cooling off in a spring. You can watch it here or at Youtube.

I'm so glad that I found this spring because it lets us watch two different bear families. The spring must be right on the border between their territories and is probably a heavily contested site. It's fun to see both families!

  1. That was so much fun! We really enjoyed watching the bears playing in the water. They were having a great time and it probably felt really good to them. What great placement for your camera.

    Look at Shyla! She's come a long way in the past year and has grown so much :)
