On my wildlife cams, I've seen one of the cubs from the den that I monitored last winter trailing his/her mom by about an hour. Apparently, the less confident cubs will do this for an entire year after their mom drives them away. If their mom sees them, she charges them and trees them...<br /><br />Not so different from the birds.<br /><br />Great photos, BTW!KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-67637087509646936552010-06-22T15:43:42.496-04:002010-06-22T15:43:42.496-04:00Yup it can be tough out there all right!

I do love the Black-headed Grosbeaks, but they take over, and our little Spotted Towhees and Lesser Goldfinches have to scrounge for scraps.<br /><br />Sure wish we had those gorgeous red Cardinals here in California.

We didn't see them after that, and wondered if they made it.KGMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165941950953938943noreply@blogger.com
