Toby enjoying some hanging willow browse! Hanging branches as enrichment is a great way to encourage the bears to stand on their hind legs, stretching out their muscles. They will often stand on their hind legs in the wild to manipulate plants and pull them into reach, foraging on tasty seasonal morsels, like buds, berries, or yummy willow catkins!

Herring spawn off the southern coast of Kruzof Island. A reawakening of the seasons. The whales are everywhere, the sun is setting much later in the day, and it’s been dry. Dry spring weather means exterior boat projects. More to come on that soon.

When you get a lot of rain, you get lots of chances for rainbows when the clouds break in Sitka!
