We promised to post regularly, but the snowstorm in Townsend, where we live, knocked out our internet. So this was our first chance since the storm. Bud Bear has been spending a fair amount of time in his culvert den, and the first photo shows him snug in his den.

Doesn’t he look cozy? The den is just the right size for Bud!
The tummy must still be filled, though, so Bud enters the Acclimation Pen to eat peanuts, pecans, and apples. Then it was back to the den and to sleep.
This is Bud’s Wild Enclosure with its snow covering. There was about 5 inches of snow.
The power went out, but fortunately there are generators that provide electricity.
A beautiful snow scene.

The snow is melting under the sunshine today, but according to the weather forecast we will receive more in a couple of days. Bud was due for release yesterday, but now his departure is pushed forward to next week. Stay tuned to see when he has his Big Day!
