When we checked on Lily, Hope, and Faith today we suspected what we’d find. Lily’s GPS locations indicated they were in red-osier dogwood habitat—damp soil with a mixture of alder, willow and red-osier.
As we homed in on her radio signal, we saw flattened vegetation where they had sat and pulled dogwood branches down. Then they showed us how it’s done.
Faith continues to be cute.
When some people put up No Trespassing signs, they mean it. But not everyone has a bear for an enforcer. At least that’s how it appeared when we homed in on Juliet.
