The camera recorded a 20-second video clip (and audio) once every 15 minutes between mid-May and mid-June 2011. The clips from May 26 have been edited into a day in the bear's life, offering insights into behavior that day.

 My friend, who thought he had 2 girls, turned out to be a boy and a girl. They had 3 unexpected eggs and 1 hatched so far. Meet Pearlie, dad (gray) and Lemon, mom, (yellow) and their new baby Cricket!! Wow, they sure love that baby. She laid the 1st egg in her food dish and Greg had to quick build a box for them. Very cute.

[A snowy owl usually appears indifferent. Sitting on a fencepost along a barren cornfield, it is a bird without country or concern. Driving snow and vicious winds don’t matter. You don’t matter either. A snowy owl doesn’t care that you’ve driven halfway across Vermont to see a bird. A snowy owl doesn’t even know you exist. Or if it does know, it doesn’t really give a hoot about you anyway.]
