At Ct 8.50 pm I saw this good looking raccoondog.

[Fleur]

At 21:50, the Bear is back into the picture. I can not see whether he is eating, and whether he takes the prey into the forest..

[JanE]

Cuckoo singing now
Not sure what you mean about Seal Fleur

Edit: Nice catch there when bear comes and grabs something on the right

[Kitty KCMO]

Wow, I am not the only one who got a good movie of a bear! Fleur, how amazing that you were watching when that one came to see about the carcasses. There were two things there & it looks like they were tied to that "dancing branch" so the bears can't pull them away too far. The first thing the bear pulled I am not sure what it was, but the second thing was definitely a dead seal. That bear is very strong, it just lifted that big seal & flopped it over without any trouble at all.

Jan, last summer a dead seal was put here & it took weeks for it to be consumed. We watched & watched from day to day as the seal swelled up bigger & bigger. We were sure it would finally burst & explode all over the clearing! But finally a bear managed to rip it open & everybody had a feast for days. The seals must have extremely tough skin, because it took the bear a lot of work over a couple of days to get it open.

P.S.-- Thank you all for your good wishes to my hubby & me.

@ JanE..
I believe last year they had a dead seal down on the right, there is a hole with a valve on
I try to find the message on the front page but I do not see it

I'm trying to find all kinds of words

Tip:
if you want to find an article, click CTRL + F and type a word. On the right you will see dashes in what sense the word will stand

[JanE]

Goodnight, Fleur, sleep well tonight. The rest of us will keep lookout for the bears.

When I swiched on the cam about 30 mins ago,I then looked at the videos... came back to cam to see a bear......but the cam has stopped...at....23: ?? 54.
Bear may still be there behind the pine trees.

Thanks a million Kitty and Fleur for your recordings.
Kitty,I hope your 35th celebrations were wonderful,esp. since you have been so ill...a double celebration.

[macdoum]

Are those two bears thinking of matings ? Probably. They are both big ones.

[Kitty KCMO]

Here is where it all begins with the dead seal last summer. viewtopic.php?p=102531#p102531

On the page following that one, Rein Kuresoo explains about the dead seal & how it came to be there. viewtopic.php?p=102551#p102551

And Fleur was first last year, too, for getting a movie of the bear pulling at the carcass. viewtopic.php?p=102708#p102708

Here is a photo of the seal nearly a week later as it swelled up. viewtopic.php?p=103322#p103322

And here, a video I got of a bear eating the carcass-- bones are crunching! viewtopic.php?p=103410#p103410

[Kitty KCMO]

I hear something breaking branches in the forest, but I don't see anything, yet.

Edit, 00:34-- Yes, there is a bear eating from one of the carcasses behind the skinny tree at the right side. It is hard to see the bear but I can see its head moving sometimes.
