Does anyone know if the skunk is still visiting the bear enclosure or did he leave when the food source left?

There haven't been any sightings as far as I know. He may have moved on!

Just read the sad news that Grizzle Bear No 1058 was struck by a car in Grand Teton Nat'l Park and died. It was just last year when his mother, No 399 suffered the same fate. Such a sad situation...the grizzly family had so many followers

I finally did my Academic Sponsorship. I hope I did it right. It doesn't cost very much. I hope a class has fun with it. There are so many great Ambassadors. Ozzy is one that comes to mind. He has a great story.

Thanks Jakermo! They are going to love it. We'll let you know which ambassador the classroom chooses!

You know, the RTHA is so cute!! It reminds me of the one that Rhoda did in a Dance Video. It was SO Adorable!!

Wildlife lessons in action: when students are telling me that they want to be a duck so people will give them bread, we pause and I explain to them that feeding bread to ducks is not a good idea. I remind them that they need to feed the animal what it needs to survive (but they are capable of fending for themselves and really don't need our help)

Great plan on the bread feeding issue, Ms Matheson. A Teachable Moment!!

I would prefer to be a Duck. They are just so darn cute, paddling around.

It would be really nice when Pippa comes to visit if she might be willing to come on Critter Cam, as I know all of CN would love to meet this amazing young lady.

Keep an eye on Buddy's cam on Saturday morning. Pippa is going to help me place some treats around the enclosure!

This RTH has quite the personality by just sitting there and being curious about everything around him. Beautiful to watch. Thank you WCV

Deb in PA

Hmmm, being a duck, you might be able to "meet" Nanny Duck and hear the whole story of her time with the bear cubs! LOL

So glad I can see Buddy on Cam. Thanks, WCV!!

I'm so excited!!! I got my Buddy Cards AND my wonderful green RTHA shirt in the mail. I can't WAIT to wear it!!

Richmond PEFA chicks are growing like weeds maybe faster. About 15 days and they are 4 or 5 times the size they were when they hatched. Mom is not a good housekeeper. The floor of the nest box is covered in feathers but she's a good Mom!

Happy thankful Thursday! Thought for today: Champions keep playing until they get it right. (Billie Jean King, American tennis player). Have a terrific day!

Mornin' all! If there's a mouse in that corner of the RTH's pen, it's in trouble!

jakermo

Deb!! What a great idea. How fun would a movie OR A BOOK about being a Nanny for some young orphaned cubs!!

11:42

About what time would "morning" be, Connor. With the time difference (EST/CST) I wouldn't want to miss it.

Tara, WCV

Connor says that Pippa will be arriving at 10 a.m. EST, and that they'll probably get to Buddy between 10 and 11.

Is the Red Tailed Hawk having an issue with his right foot? He's been stretching it out and lifting it up a lot today.

Alison, WCV

11:50

Probably not, birds will typically tuck their feet up or stretch their legs out in front of them when they are relaxed. Sort of like how many of us like to put our feet up on the coffee table when we're relaxing on the couch!

The Close ups of the GHOW are so INCREDIBLE!! Amazing !Thank you.!

Hi Buddy!

Question for WCV: do you take donations of dog kibble if it’s been opened? The reason I ask is my dogs have become very picky eaters and I recently have tried several kinds of kibble with them. When they won’t eat it, I close it back up and try another kind. I finally found one they like. It’s all fresh. It’s all been bought this year and it’s been sealed closed. If you do take to mix with your patient and ambassador meals, I’ll gladly bring them over to donate.

Connor Gillespie, WCV

Yes, we can use it!

PEFA Mom did a nice job protecting the chicks in a thunderstorm last night. She got them in a back corner of the nest box and tried to shield them. They are too big to brood so all she can do is attempt to shield them. She did a nice job. Fairly windy, moderate rain and noisy.

Happy FriYah! Thought for today: Where there's hope, there's life. It fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again. (Ann Frank in The Diary of a Young Girl). Have a fantastic day!
