GHO is very interested in something overhead. Love watching his head make all of the twists and turns.

For those interested in Eagles. Our Big Bear eaglets are hatching. I was able to spot the fluffy head of one eaglet, still hatching, and the other is working on the shell now. Big Bear Bald Eagle Live Nest - Cam 1

Mornin' all! Ah, Lavender, it's too early to be pacing...only a couple more days and you and No Tag will be free!

Happy Easter girls! You'll soon be free! (WCV)

I am finally able to see the Green in the Yearling Yard! So there will be lots of green in a few days when the girls leave. I will miss you BOTH very much, No Tags and Souble Lavender. Although I really want to call the first Yearling "Original Bear"!!

Happy Easter WCV and CN - I hope everyone has a great day.

The bear yard is blooming and getting green, I see a bear at 3:15PM Sunday.in the back left view on cam 2. She may have a snack, spending a lot of time in a small area with her nose to the ground.

Deb in PA

Girls playing tag at 4:15pm...Lavender chased No Tag up a tree. She came back down and took off after Lavender! So glad I tuned in at just the right time to catch the action!

Alison, in years past when the bears resisted going in the traps, fried chicken did the trick every time. They couldn’t say no to it!

Deb in PA

8pm and the girls are still in a playful mood...checking out the tire swing, climbing trees and a wrestling match!

KP in ORF

The Woodrat reminds me of a Gerbil. Well CN, the last full day for the 2025 bears is here! At the release site will they go straight up trees?

Ursa

8:22

Will the traps be set today or tomorrow? Thanks!

Connor Gillespie, WCV

8:22

They will be set today, though I'm not sure what time. I'll ask when I see the rehab team.

Deb in PA

Mornin' all and a very special "Mornin" to Lavender and No Tag! The clock is ticking girls, you'll soon be free and I'll be sitting here with leaking eyes...I'm so happy that you're getting this second chance at a great life in the wild! Thank you WCV!

It looks like a beautiful sunny day! I hope all goes well for our Yearlings. Love them, and good luck to the Bear Team.

Ursa

Thank you WCV indeed! These yearlings would not have had the opportunity to be in the wild and hopefully raise their families in their wild habitat without the assistance of SO many WCV staff members. Special congrats to the Vet and Rehab teams. I remember how Lavender required a lot of care from the Vet team in the beginning. You're my heroes!

Hoping everyone had a Happy Easter. It reminded me of the year I had my 5th graders at Desert Valley write about the Easter Bunny being a patient at WCV and who does he ask to cover his rounds? I think it was put to a vote for CN and Buttercup won! (I know the students' writings were posted on the website but don't know if they still are)

Connor Gillespie, WCV

The rehab team will likely set the traps around 4:00 pm.

KP in ORF

Has the LMI been reconfigured for little bear yet? How big does she have to be before she can move to the LMI? Is it 10kg?

Connor Gillespie, WCV

11:03

It's getting close! It has been thoroughly cleaned, but they still need to add things to the enclosure. We'll have an update posted soon.

Deb in PA

The sun's brought a spring visitor to our feeders! This beautiful little Chipping Sparrow showed up this morning!

Just my personal opinion but I'd say when those wild male bears get a glimpse of the girls, they'll be smitten!

Keep wondering how Miss Bobcat's doing and hoping she's finding her way in the wild!

Beautiful picture Deb in PA of the Chipping Sparrow.

Deb in PA

Ah, wondered where the girls were but I see movement in the back lefthand corner!

These 2 bears didn't seem to climb trees as much as the big group last year.

We're learning about going places safely on the internet. Too bad the bears and owl are not on camera. Tomorrow we're going to the fire department.

Seahawks Nadine-U.P., WA

1:54

Is the owl sleeping on the branch?

Tara, WCV

1:54

Yep! We've shifted the cam, so the owl should be onscreen now.

When exactly is the bears release, I must have missed the date?

Tara, WCV

2:06

It's tentatively planned for tomorrow, April 7!

SharonShneyer, Philadelphia

3:05

Tara WI any of it be online? I forget what was done in previous years. If it's going to be streamed or something I can change my plans.

Tara, WCV

3:05

We won't be livestreaming it, but there will be photos and videos posted after the release.

Deb in PA

Connor, is the rehab team going with the ever-popular fried chicken in the traps?

Connor Gillespie, WCV

3:19

Yes! Plus some honey combs.

Angelkitty

3:31

Honey combs, great idea! I see sticky bear fur in their future!

Amanda Nicholson, WCV

But what kind of fried chicken?
