With the warmer temperatures, the cubs are climbing up to stick their heads out and get some fresh air.

At the Wildlife Research Institute, biologists Lynn Rogers, Ph.D. and Sue Mansfield, M.S., along with their team of researchers, have spent over 44 years studying black bears and sharing their information with the public. Their work has been recognized as one of the four major studies of large mammals in the world.
Using trust rather than traps and tranquilizers, they are conducting the longest, most detailed study of black bear behavior and ecology ever done. A focus is on reducing bear-human conflict.
They share information with the public through publications, lectures, field courses, the Internet (bear.org and bearstudy.org), TV documentaries, and the North American Bear Center. The Center is dedicated to advancing the long-term survival of bear populations by replacing misconceptions with facts.
Many people say these nonprofit organizations have changed their lives by giving them a better understanding about black bears and making it possible for them to fully enjoy living and hiking in bear habitat.

Jewel is such a good mom, these two little cubs are a paw full, never a dull moment for Jewel. I call one Screech and the other Squawker and they have both grown very well, good milk from momma. I love to hear them when they nurse..such contentment.
Thank you for sharing these very educational moments with us, and thank you for all that you do..Dr. Rogers, Sue Mansfield, cam watchers whom write down everything and the guys whom put in the time to install these cams for all of us.
