How very sad for them.

Forgive me if someone else has already posted this! Looks good, and this piece has the link to the camera. I could even get it on poor old sick Big Mac.

I don't think I ever saw this cam Bobbie, thanks!!

I saw a program similar Bobbie and it broke my heart. They caught them, cut off their fins and threw them back in to die a slow horrible death. Yes, it is SAD!

As I glanced outside this morning this is what I saw in my backyard
A juvenile Coopers Hawk
I'm looking at you looking at me!

Before I read, is this real sad?

I think it is dreadfully sad, Donna! The female had to swim all those miles because of the vanishing sea ice. And the yearling cub that set out with her did not make it. AND - it is sad for all of us if this cannot be stopped. Worth reading tho - we never know when we might read something about which we can actually DO something! Tho what that is... My heart breaks for this heroic Mama Bear. So yes - a "Sad" warning.

I saw a show on TV about the same thing but it was the male who swam miles just to look for food for his family. He even tried to snatch some from an elephant seal and got injured. He was too weak to make it back to his family. That was hard to watch and I had to leave the room before it ended.

The babies are growing. This is the from just now.
