Happy almost summer! The cams are not yet on, but the rangers are trickling back to the park. So far, Chunk, 609, 910jr and Grazer (+Walker Jr) have been videoed as returned. I wonder who else we will hear about next? This is a screen grab from instagram.

Hi all, here’s a link to a video of Grazer and cubbie back at Katmai! Also, a screen shot from a FB user with a partial list of bears who have returned to the park. www.facebook.com/share/r/1FViqU4WtL/
Some say 747 is also back and Chunk has an injury to his jaw.

Hey all, the news is that the 910 clan have split up and the forever teens 910jr and 909jr are on their own now. They had the best teacher in 910 so they will be just fine. It will be interesting to see if the girls fish together like their cousins 428 and 429. These screen shots are taken from a Katmai FB group. Here, 910jr is pictured alone.

The bears are back! These are screen shots of some of our most seen bears on the cams, including the 910s, still together. I predicted last summer the girls might stick with 910 for one more season, since 910jr is only 3.5 years old now.

Bears reported back at the park are 901 (single), 32, the 910s and 909 with cubbies. 909 initially had three cubbies but most recently was seen with two. Credit to the Katmai group and Ranger Tammy on Facebook for these pics.

Countdown to the bear live cams!

Hi all. Just checking in on my bear fam. How are all of you doing after today’s incident with 469 and 402? I’m distracted and shaken. We know what is possible on the live cameras but we don’t necessarily expect it. This is a safe space to speak.

Finally it is the weekend! I had much of the week off but did have to work yesterday so I’m feeling like I need another week off soon and of COURSE I will spend it watching bears. And probably cleaning up because, cats. Here is a short video with music I did last season that makes me smile every time I see it. Hope it brings you some light today. youtube.com/shorts/CB3aSfDLEZ...

Ever seen a bunch of bears in a BEARNGA line? We might know it as a conga line, but for bears, it’s got its own name. This is from a couple of weeks back, everybody was in line for fish! 27 out of the water with his ombré back fur because it’s the rage for all the younger boy bears these days.

Hi, all, I think we are all heartbroken by the news of Grazer’s little Cubbie. I think we suspected it was probably not alive given it had not been seen since Tuesday. I think Grazer could hear the Cubbie but couldn’t find it - as we had witnessed in videos with her searching far and wide and by how distracted she was when he washed down the falls. I hope it didn’t suffer too much, and being one of only two COY at the falls this year, we are at about the 50% survival rate of new cubs.

Please take care of yourself. I’ve been away at a work conference working 17 hour days and I’m exhausted. The news today really made me sad. I’ll be back online and more engaged on Sunday evening. Until then, know this is a safe space to talk. Sending you love and light.

Happy Monday, all, little Cubbie is up and around. This is a positive sign. https://youtu.be/OB7uXEp3vjg?si=0yI02...
