Feline and Nature Friday - Mountain lions and a Black Bear (Tiny!) out in spring snow

Deep in the forest, there's a narrow path that our most shy wildlife love to use. I found it last summer after bear mating season had ended. Since then, mountain lions and bobcats have dominated it with an occasional bear wandering through.

After our huge spring storm, a mountain lion very slowly plodded through the snow. Then a deer and pair of dueling  robins. After another mountain lion, the highlight of my spring arrived. Tiny the Black Bear sauntered through. He marked a tree with his trademark "sitting" style.

Seeing him on video made me so happy. He looked good, no different from last fall. Check out the video!

  5. It's so great to see Tiny and the other forest inhabitants out in the spring snow. We thought it was funny the way Tiny came back to mark again as if he didn't think the first time was enough.

  6. The big cat in really deep snow, the deer and two birds trying to make like it's spring. Tiny didn't do a good enough job the first time around and had to come back and mark again.

    Have a fabulous day and weekend. Scritches to the precious pups. ♥

  8. Watching Tiny, I was beginning to feel sorry for the tree! It's always so interesting to see the wild life in your videos. I don't go on youtube often, but I must check them out there too. You are doing a fabulous job here. Thanks for editing and putting these videos up every week.

  12. Tiny, as you lumbered off, snowy backside, then again with a snowy face, a really good shake, and sit again, this special marking needs a title as it must be distinctive for you. Thanks KB, this video is remarkable, the first lion in the thick snow as he/'she plodded through, shows us how resilient all your mountain animals really are.
